Seventeen-year-old Angelina Dunbar learns from her adoptive parents,
Derek and Sharon, about her brutal history, and of her heritage as a
Mighty One referred to in Genesis 6. As the hybrid child of a human mother
and fallen angel, Angelina will live forever in perfect health, with a
beautiful body, and the power to influence others.
Longing only for normalcy,
she lives with her parents in seclusion, hiding from those who would
consider her a freak. Riddled with guilt over the death of her
childhood friend, she seeks redemption, risking exposure by using her gifts
as a champion for others.
Now, as Angelina stands at the threshold of
adulthood, the demon responsible for her eternal youth and beauty demands
a terrible payment - the annihilation of humankind. Accompanied by
mysterious, Krikor, and armed with the ancient talisman, Nino, Angelina
travels to the cradle of civilization to make her stand.
