Angelica, a proclaimed atheist, finds her beliefs challenged when she meets the archangel Gabriel. She is under attack by a vampire when she is saved by this handsome man who fights off this creature of the night. These undead beings trace their origins back to Lamech who slew Cain. Lamech in turn was cursed worse than Cain. Along with her somewhat nerdy older brother, Jonah, they set off on an epic quest to find the Gnomes of Nome and the lost staff of Moses. These small creatures live beneath the mountains of Alaska.

Angelica and her brother quickly find themselves caught up in a war between the gnomes and their distant kin the dwarves. Angelica is gifted a magical ring of power which once belonged to the prophet Solomon. In order for Angelica to use Solomon’s Ring, she must regain her lost faith in God. Gabriel reveals that they are descended from a fallen archangel, Azazyel. He took a mortal wife and taught humans how to make weapons and armor before the flood. (Genesis 6 and the Book of Enoch) Azazyel was buried alive but his tomb has been lost. Only one of his children can find him. Gabriel seeks Azazyel and other angels who came to earth to battle Satan long ago. Some were worshipped as gods of the old world.

These heavenly beings must be found before Armageddon begins or all will be lost. As Satan martials his forces within the bowels of the earth, the dragons of myth awake. These creatures were once cherubim who were subverted by the Devil in the great war. Upon the cursed ground where Able was slain and through his dark powers, Lucifer transformed these nine fallen creatures of fire into the dragons, the most feared foes of men and angels.
