The world deals with its fears by shadowing the truth with legends. However, this illustrated light novel breaks through the shadows of legend to stab into the heart of the truth.

The Keepers of the Gate are definitely NOT saints. They vanquish demons with guns, swords, and grenades, fighting hellfire with hellfire, in order to protect the unknowing masses from hell's legions of demon-possessed vampyres, who are intent on opening a dimensional gateway to the netherworld. It's a hazardous, bloody, a
