The Shadows

Shadowy forces beneath the earth have gone into hiding after a wave of attacks by angels from Heaven. The Antichrist is wounded, and the fourth seal from the Bible has been broken, marking a dangerous turn in the war. Yonnie and Val, an unusual pairing of a daywalker and a half-angel, have been brought into the team led by Damali and Carlos. Two newly promoted Council-level vampires, Elizabeth Bathory and Lucrezia Borgia, are still healing from their most recent mission.

In the underworld, the Unnamed One is enraged enough to take the fight to the surface. He launches a full assault on humanity as punishment for the Neteru team's earlier actions. The Guardians must now deal with heavy loss of human life and widespread damage. Meanwhile, Nuit is turning Blood Music from a small record label into a propaganda machine that manipulates the public on the Dark Lord's behalf.
