From the liner notes by Markus Heitz (author of "The Dark Lands"):

"HARVESTER OF SOULS" Terrified by his friend's death, Nicolas widely opens his eyes and finds himself back in Bez's tower. Eve gave her life for him, and he realises his purpose. Thanks to her words he finds his own free will and becomes a Nephilim, half human, half angel. Once more, flashbacks dart through his mind. And now he knows that the Golden King's daughter is his foe. But where are his friends? What happened?
