Under the snow-filled Apocalypse, a boy – ever beautiful, ever blooming – was born by the will of the God of Death, as His very Apostle of Ash. His mission: to restore the balance of life and death, by purging the evil within – a blood pestilence ravaging the ranks of Man for decades. And so, the boy walks alone under the withered welkin of white with his scythe of red in hand, fighting the lost lambs of Man – abominations of the flesh – as he seeks the road to Paradise.
