Publisher's Synopsis
It's been twelve years since Alrak Sivad's salvation and induction as Primus Illuminati. Since then he has learned to quell his fury and channel his zeal into a crusade of redemption. Under his new aegis, forty-nine thousand halos wage a war of mercy, where faith in Parakletos trumps the hope of victory.
Yet under the Firmament dwells a new threat darker than any sky of angels and vaster than any sea of demons. Upon the Ice Waste, a constellation is liberated to help lead an elite legion of sixty thousand Fallen poised to wreak revolt's havoc. Meanwhile, in the bowels of Pandemonium, Satan devises his final conspiracy: a ruse that promises to shatter Zion's undefeatable confidence and unleash dire wrath eternal. With aid from Zion and Tartarus, the Fallen's gambit enlists traitors and convicts, gods and demons, redeemers and apostates, and villains revived from damnation. If executed flawlessly, neither Heaven nor Earth will be immune to Hell's maelstrom onslaught. What seems a Dragon's sulfurous death rattle could prove a halo's blinkered vanish. Two Fallen will choose their fates. One Faithful must commit to mercy or holocaust. And in the tribulations of these end times, all Creation will suffer. Primus Illuminati is the penultimate novel of the Heavenly Realms series; the Second War's climax that reveals faith in hope leads to damnation, but hope through faith leads to redemption.
