They came to earth-Pestilence, War, Famine, Death-four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all. The day Death comes to Lazarus Gaumond's town and kills everyone in one fell swoop, the last thing he expects to see is one woman left alive and standing. But Lazarus has an extraordinary gift: she cannot be killed. Not by humans, not by the elements, not by Death himself. She is the one soul Death doesn't recognize. The one soul he cannot pry free from her flesh. Nor can he ignore the unsettling desire he has for her. And the longer she tries to stop him from his killing spree, the stronger the desire becomes. When Lazarus crosses paths with the three other horsemen, an unthinkable situation leads to a terrible deal: seduce Death, save the world. A hopeless task, made worse by the bad blood between the two. But try as she might, Lazarus cannot stay away from that ancient, beautiful being and his dark embrace. The end is here. Humankind is set to perish, and not even the other horsemen can stop Death from fulfilling his final task. Only Lazarus can.

Přišli na zemi - Mor, Válka, Hlad a Smrt - čtyři Jezdci apokalypsy, kteří se na svých hrůzostrašných ořích rozjeli po světě nadáni mocí zahubit veškeré lidstvo. Když Jeruzalém padne do rukou armády nájezdníků, Miriam Elmahdyová je přesvědčená, že její život skončil. Domy hoří, ulice rudnou krví a vojáci masakrují nevinné - tohle nemůže přežít… A potom upoutá pozornost děsivého vůdce uchvatitelů, samotného Války. Jezdec se vydá Miriam pronásledovat, ale místo aby ji zabil, nazve ji svou „manželkou" a unese ji do svého tábora. Od té chvíle mladá žena z první řady sleduje konec světa, kdy město za městem lehá popelem, zatímco ten, kdo je za to zodpovědný - její nesmrtelný apokalyptický „manžel" - ji drží v zajetí. Vedle krutosti jí však Válka ukazuje i svou druhou tvář, laskavou a milující, která si ji podmaňuje, a Miriam možná nebude dost silná, aby odolala. Jestliže se však v životě něco naučila, pak to, že láska a válka nemohou existovat vedle sebe. Musí učinit zásadní volbu: vzdát se Válce a sledovat pád lidstva, nebo obětovat vše, aby ho zastavila.
