Humanity set out to achieve Godhood and failed.

Their attempt left a ruined world behind, one touched by magic for the first time, but blighted by Heaven and Hell seeping into it. The ones who were left behind hide in great walled cities, caught in the throes of a timeless undeath, and almost completely decimated by the monsters set loose from the deepest abyss of their collective unconscious.

The Scions -- warrior-mages who ate the fruit of hell and became possessed by fragments of God known as "Archons" -- are the only ones who can fight these nightmares and cross the barriers between the worlds. They're kept locked and isolated in abbeys, reared to protect the cities and their inhabitants. And, one day, to undertake the Pilgrimage, the mythical heroic journey through Heaven and Hell that will finally open the doors to Eden and grant humanity what it once sought and couldn't grasp: eternal peace.

But, inside the walls of one of the abbeys, rebellion is brewing. Kayla, Joshua, Sarah, Matthew, Vivien and Darren tire of their captivity and plot to gain back their freedom and find answers to the mysteries of their dying world.

Yet it's not only monsters that stand in their way. Some humans will fight for secrets to remain hidden, while others don't wish to see the scales of power they've so carefully balanced tip. The Scions will have to follow in their ancestors' footsteps and attain what their predecessors couldn't to succeed: kill the Godhead and become gods themselves.
