What if the afterlife wasn't the paradise you were promised?
When Desiree and Zach awaken in the celestial realm of Kalani, they expect peace and rest. Instead, they find a dystopian afterlife where followers prosper, non-followers stagnate, and the faithless are abandoned to despair. But as they navigate this immortal world, they realize that as they overcome their past and submit to their Creator, they are being led toward their destiny.
Two souls. One destiny.
Leading toward an epic battle for every soul.
As Desiree uncovers forbidden abilities and Zach wrestles with a truth that shatters his faith, both are thrust into a cosmic war between the Army of Awry and the Army of Magnar. Their choices will ignite rebellion, test their loyalty, and determine the fate of every soul in existence.
