'"Angels" tells the epic story of the ancient war between the Angels and Lucifer's fallen minions. The conflict is told through the eyes of Sera, the Angel of Light.
'Though she is gifted with the power to control light with spectacular effect, she aspires for a more heroic role. Her ambition is manipulated by Lucifer, which results in tragic consequences to the Angels and the humans they protect.
'Sera must decide how far she is willing to go and what she must sacrifice to turn the tide in this celestial battle.'
