Ethan Cole died a hero in a Toledo apartment fire, but he awakened in an abandoned Nebraska warehouse, transmigrated into a new body and bonded to a Spirit of Vengeance. Unlike the demons and angels of the Supernatural world, the entity within Ethan is a Primordial Force that predates Heaven’s hierarchy—a cosmic balance of divine wrath. Navigating the early days of the Winchesters' hunt, Ethan must manage The Urge, a relentless compulsion to punish the guilty that threatens to consume his humanity. While witnessing the tragic trade John Winchester makes for Dean’s life, Ethan realizes his Hellfire and Penance Stare make him the most dangerous variable in a world of monsters and crossroads deals. Bound by the Chains of Judgment, he joins Sam and Dean on the road, using his Sin Sense to track the darkness that the Colt can't reach. As the apocalypse looms, Ethan must decide if he is a partner to the Winchesters or the ultimate judge sent to burn a world that has lost its way.
