Piąty tom krwawej, pełnej intryg serii o walce byłego władcy piekieł, Lucyfera, pragnącego rządzić wszechświatem niezależnym od Boga. Lucyfer Gwiazda Zaranna niemal osiągnął swój cel. Powoławszy do istnienia nowe Stworzenie w otchłani poza starym królestwem Pana, dawny władca piekieł zaludnił swą krainę i obronił przed mocami, które próbowały mu ją odebrać. Lecz sukces Lucyfera jest w dużej mierze mirażem, gdyż Gwiazda Zaranna nie odzyskał pełni swych mocy. Żądny zemsty bóg burzy, Susano, wykradł mu dwa pióra z anielskich skrzydeł, a w nich tkwi duża część siły upadłego niebianina. Do czasu, aż je odzyska, Niosący Światło pozostaje niemal bezbronny. Niestety, ma także dwa zobowiązania, które nie mogą czekać. Po pierwsze, mimo osłabienia, musi stanąć do pojedynku z aniołem zastępów, Amenadielem. Walka ma się odbyć w piekielnej krainie Effrul, obecnie pozostającej pod kontrolą nieba. Po drugie, musi spłacić dług wobec półanioła, Elaine Belloc – nawet gdyby oznaczało to dla niego ostateczne zniszczenie. Bo, jak wszyscy wiedzą, diabeł nigdy nie łamie raz danego słowa. Lucyfer, zrodzony na kartach przełomowej serii komiksowej Neila Gaimana Sandman, kontynuuje swoje przygody w nominowanej do Nagrody Eisnera serii Mike’a Careya.
Follows Lucifer Morningstar, the former Lord of Hell, as he faces challenges from forces in both heaven and hell.
