The search for the Four is becoming more sinister than Defiance could have ever imagined. After finding themselves trapped within a compound of the dead, she and Uriel turn to the Church for a way out. But all too soon they find themselves surrounded by secrets, violence, and a High Priest willing to sacrifice everything, and everyone, to get his way. With Gargoyles coming alive during the day and an ominous figure stalking her dreams, Defiance is finding it harder than ever to distinguish friend from foe. Her loyalty to the High Church is hanging on by a thread, new enemies and old are joining forces, and soon she’ll learn just how far she’s willing to go to save the demon she’s grown to love.
