Sophie Bangs is hoping to interview a woman named Barbara Shelley for a college paper on " Promethea ", a character who seems to recur in literature and pop culture through the centuries.

Just as things look bleakest for Sophie, she is rescued by Barbara, who has mystical powers and is now dressed as Promethea.

She informs Sophie that the only reason she would be attacked is if someone suspects she will become the next vessel for Promethea ( Barbara is the current ).

As they hide from the pursuing Smee, the weakened and fatally injured Barbara instructs Sophie to write a poem about Promethea hoping Sophie is indeed the successor and the creative expression is a way to get Sophie in the correct state of mind to allow herself to become Promethea.

This motivates Sophie to learn more about magic, mysticism and the Tree of Life and its spheres in order to find Barbara and help her seek Steve Shelly, Barbara's dead husband.

Throughout their climb up the spheres of Tree of Life Sophie / Promethea and Barbara encounter difficulties such as imprisonment by the demon Asmodeus, as well as meeting figures such as Sophie's father Juan ( who died when she was little ), Barbara's guardian angel Boo Boo and Promethea's father, who she has not seen since his murder in 411 A. D.

Eventually Barbara and Steve find each other and are re-incarnated as twins ( who Sophie ends up looking after at the end of the book ).

While Sophie journeyed to find Barbara in the afterlife, Stacia / Grace were re-instated to temporarily serve as acting Promethea, leading Stacia and Grace to fall in love.

At first Sophie declines, but later agrees knowing this knowledge will help her travel in the afterlife and help Barbara.
