A century after the Storms devastated the world, the last great city on the West Coast believed it was safe.
They were wrong.
When the angels return, they slaughter thousands and enslave the survivors, turning the city into a prison ruled by monsters.
Cale “Sendz” Edsen is one of the few soldiers who survived the fall. Broken by guilt, he hides in the brutal streets of the Empty Gate—until the night he kills an angel with his bare hands.
Now Sendz must face a terrifying truth:
Something inside him is changing.
And the angels know it.
