Platitude is a sleepy little town nestled in the mountains right in the middle of nowhere. Lightning bugs tease the children on long summer nights, the sweet scent of lavender fills the spring air, and demons swarm the town, blocking out the sun. Their goal is to ensure an entire generation is lost to the lies of darkness.

Aegeus, a warrior of the King, has been assigned to lead a team of angels to Platitude. But this mission is unlike any mission they have ever undertaken. Each of the twelve humans carries burdens deep within their souls, and one of them is rumored to be a prophet.

To help the twelve, discover who they truly are, Aegeus must embark on his own journey of self-discovery. Soon, it becomes clear that the humans are not the only ones being hunted and destroyed. The fate of Aegeus himself may lie in the hands of the very human he was sent to protect.
