Originally published by Maximum. Image picks up publishing as of issue #4.

Could–have–been supermodel Ariel Chylde spent most of her childhood moving from town to town. Her mother had died when she was still a young girl, leaving her in the care of her “father” Robert Chylde, who regularly molests her.

As her eighteenth birthday approaches, she has just moved to the new town of Salem, Georgia. Lately, she has been haunted by strange, demon–filled dreams. These become her reality when her father attempts to molest her one more time, and Ariel transforms into a demonic creature herself, and incinerates him in a burst of flame. In that moment, it became clear that her true father was not Robert, but rather the devil himself, and that her hidden nature was finally coming to the fore. From then on, it’s the usual band of secret government operatives out to control this newly discovered, hugely powerful teenager, while she tries to hide from the darkness that has been unleashed in her.
