In a different, darker world, Diana of Themyscira was exiled to the underworld as a baby and raised by an enemy.

Long denied her Amazonian heritage, it is now time for Diana to rejoin the surface world. Armed with new weapons forged in Hell and a mission that looks a bit more like justice than peace, Diana won't be stopped on her quest to save the world and discover her place in it, even if that means carving it herself!
