Alaric falls from heavenly grace when his supreme father strips him of godhood, branding his mortal flesh and casting him into the diseased slums of Exile City. Bleeding and powerless among mundane cutpurses, the arrogant deity expects swift demise until four orphaned street urchins drag him into their hideout. Soon, Alaric discovers that these neglected children are living vessels prophesied to herald total apocalyptic annihilation across the mortal plane.
Underneath the squalor, a demonic entity devours innocent citizens, empowered by a decadent city ruler who intends to harvest the children's burgeoning cataclysmic powers. Stripped of his divine arrogance, Alaric becomes an unlikely father figure, teaching his young wards discipline while learning the warmth of human loyalty. Together, the disgraced prince and four miniature harbinger horsemen stand as humanity's only defense against extinction.
