A promising love that is quickly shattered poisons Samantha's heart and introduces a confusion that causes her to believe the unimaginable. Her following actions, spurred by her undaunted denial, become the catalyst for a fallen angel to search for his own distorted peace, but his selfish desire for vengeance creates a grim drama that Samantha becomes an unwilling part of. Many characters become woven into this tale, all with a tainted past of their own. A disorganized group of untamed Glorious Hunters are seeking a girl named Symphony who has made a lonely home in the desert in her attempt to hide away from them. Ultimately, the Hunters track her down and force her to run into desperation. Thorns, one of these such Hunters, becomes sidetracked by a more important endeavor and commands his faction to rest their spirits while he refocuses his efforts towards a greater goal, one that can strengthen their chances at controlling the battle between them and the Lost Sentry, whom they call their unfortunate prey. While an old Native-American raindancer is meditating amongst Angel Trees, and a friendly girl of unnatural blood named April Red is sliding small knives into her long black boots, and Sovereign Ashley is leading his 4th Manes in a search for a legendary book, and a priest is contemplating his last disturbing visitor, and the Scholars of Triumph are rewriting the future, a sudden snow falls in a holy garden where a rainbow descends to darkness.
