First Born #1

In "null," the Angelus seeks a new host in Celestine, while Sara is pulled back into the chaos surrounding Jackie Estacado—now claiming to be the father of her unborn child—after his crime family vanishes in a blaze of fire. As Sara and Patrick return from dinner, their quiet evening unravels when Jackie appears at her door, his presence a ghost from a past she thought she’d left behind.

In "null," Jackie grapples with a terrible truth: the Darkness compelled him to conceive a child with Sara while she was unconscious, making him the father of her unborn baby. As the Angelus descends upon Sara’s apartment, tearing through the building in a relentless pursuit, Jackie and Dani race to protect her, hiding her in a secret safe house in New Jersey. With Sara’s labor beginning, Magdalena arrives to lend her aid—just as the threat grows more immediate.

In the scorching heart of the desert, Magdalena confronts the true nature of the Darkness in a trial that tests her resolve like no other. Racing against time, she reaches Jackie’s hidden sanctuary just as Sara stands on the brink of delivering her child.

In the quiet dread of a delivery room, Sara fights to bring her child into the world as a cosmic war rages beyond the walls—between the Darkness and the Angelus. When Celestine makes her move to steal the newborn, the baby’s sudden, overwhelming power erupts in a blaze that leaves even the most ancient forces reeling.

In "Shadows and Light," Sara and Dani take Hope for a quiet walk in the park, but the moment the baby’s first breath fills the air, the balance between the Angelus and the Darkness shatters. As ancient forces stir, the fragile peace of the moment unravels, and the two women must act fast to protect their child from a battle neither expected.
