In the beginning, a vibrant kingdom was created for the angels, a dark realm was created for the demons and a world was built for mankind. When one of the legendary Four Horsemen destroyed the Earth before its appointed time, he was sentenced to be destroyed. Awakened by the End of Days, the second of the Horsemen, Death, came to his brother's defense. Now, hoping to save him before it's too late, Death ventures upon a quest to restore mankind and redeem his brother's name. Soon he realizes that an apocalypse is the least of his worries, and that a centuries-old grudge threatens the very existence of everything.
