Those above

Tall, strong, perfect, superhuman and near immortal they rule from their glittering palaces in the eternal city in the centre of the world. They are called Those Above by their subjects. They enforce their will with fire and sword. Twenty five years ago mankind mustered an army and rose up against them, only to be slaughtered in a terrible battle. Hope died that day, but hatred survived. A woman, widowed in the war, has dedicated her life to revenge; a general, the only man to ever defeat one of Those Above in single combat, is summoned forth to raise a new legion; and a boy killer rises from the gutter to lead an uprising in the capital.
