What is Deathshroud?

Second Lieutenant John Azrael was supposed to die during a black-ops mission. Instead, he awakened and transformed into a creature of nightmare and legend. Now a Nephilim, one of the forbidden children of angels, John becomes a target in a celestial conspiracy hellbent on wiping out humanity.

With both Heaven and Hell aligned against him, John searches for answers, justice, and revenge—especially against those who murdered his mother. Battling monstrous foes and unraveling divine secrets, he’s forced to confront a horrifying truth: to protect humanity, he may have to become its greatest threat.

As he struggles with his new powers and the weight of his destiny, John must also safeguard the only light in his life—his fiancée Elizabeth—from the rising darkness within Kobolt City’s corrupt elite.

Will he become the world’s salvation—or its destruction?
