The Dark Angels of the Down Below are reeling from the swift and brutal attack on their home, an attack that betrayed the laws of their domain and endangered all they held dear. Yet they are still no closer to discovering the mastermind behind the threat. Shattered by the death of one of their own, and another still missing, the Angels must learn to cope with their loss as they face the growing forces of their dark realm.
A world away, Icarus lives and breathes her duty. The Up Above is hers to protect and cherish, as are the Angels who live under the canopy of its vast, vibrant forest. So when a stranger magically appears in their midst, bloody and unconscious, she is wary of his motives. However, the stranger gradually earns her trust, embarking upon the ultimate test against ancient enemies to prove that he may yet be one of them.
These two worlds collide in the second installment of the Darkness Will Fall series, and the battle has only just begun. Death haunts their footsteps, power tumbles through grasping hands, and their future is brought into question with forces bent on their destruction.
