Over the course of history, a team of four supernatural agents has been assembled for a Black Ops team unlike any other. The Guardsman: ageless paladin knight. Cyrus Salem: immortal shrinking wizard. Kitty Lazarus: woman warrior in a cat's body. Ariel Vibria: modern dragon with a tortured soul. Both separately and together, these agents will face down an enemy of immense evil, with the fate of the world itself possibly in the balance, rising above their differences and individual traumas and coming together to face Sheol, a demonic matriarch hiding within one of the holiest sites in Europe. Each agent has his own concerns. Is being the Guardsman worth the sacrifice of childhood Ken Sharpe made to be the paladin? Will Cyrus continue to shrink throughout history? What purpose does the Hindu god Durga have for Kitty? What will happen if the secretive government project that produced Ariel comes to search for their missing experiment? Do they have a chance against Sheol?
