Kevin did the impossible: He murdered his twin by throwing him over the world’s edge. He says he didn’t do it, but there’s no way to explain what’d happened on the wall surrounding the world. Instead of being executed, Kevin's held for questioning as the Líders figure out the truth about his case. Nikki’s adoptive family has betrayed her. They refuse to bring up the deaths of her two siblings and act as if they never happened. One murdered, the other executed. She doesn’t believe the radio reports, and since no one is willing to talk about it, she decides to take action into her own hands and uncover her city's mysteries by herself. Derek awakes on a beach with no memory as to how he got there, but the people who come to his rescue—"humans”—tell him everything he needs to know: He’s an angel sent by their God to help rid their world of the lingering demonic race. Derek goes along with this, as he has nothing better to do. All the while, Kevin, Nikki, and Derek hear mysterious voices calling out to them. From the birth of three siblings, powerful, belligerent Deities who haven’t yet died stir from their 500-year slumber and are devotedly pissed the fuck off.
