“Redemption is a death sentence. Identity is the final battlefield.” For eons, Samael was Heaven’s most loyal executioner—a blade forged in divine fire. He did not question. He did not hesitate. He obeyed. Until he was forced to make a bargain with his own darker half. That bargain let the darkness trap Samael inside his own soul. Now only Lucifer remains—hunted by the brothers he once bled beside, fueled by the ravenous, unstable hunger of the Great Beast. He no longer serves. He no longer hesitates. He destroys. As he carves through the angelic host, one truth remains absolute: Heaven is the enemy. While the angels cling to order, Lucifer tears through it without remorse—driven not by justice, but by power, by defiance, by the pure will to annihilate the system that made him. There is nothing left to save. Only the abyss he has become. Now his war is no longer about vengeance. It is about annihilation. Will Heaven’s greatest protector become the architect of its final destruction—or has the darkness already won?
