Long ago, Aldrif, the infant daughter of Odin, was stolen and raised amongst the Angels of the Tenth Realm. She rose through their ranks to become the realm's most feared and respected warrior - Angela, the Hand of Heven.
When Hela kidnapped Angela's baby sister, Laussa, Angela prepared to give chase. But all of Heven was swept into a collapsing universe where gods and demons were locked in eternal combat. Angela eventually found her way back home, tracking Laussa and Hela to the Eighth City in the newly-formed Heart of Heaven.
