A vicious attack at a ranch in California thrusts
archaeologist Erin Granger back into the folds of the
Sanguines, an immortal order founded on the blood of Christ
and tasked with protecting the world from the beasts
haunting its shadows and waiting to break free into the
sunlight. Following the prophetic words found in the Blood
Gospel--a tome written by Christ and lost for
centuries--Erin must join forces with Army Sergeant Jordan
Stone and the dark mystery that is Father Rhun Korza to
discover and protect a boy believed to be an angel given flesh.
But an enigmatic enemy of immense power and terrifying
ambition seeks the same child--not to save the world, but to
hasten its destruction. For any hope of victory, Erin must
discover the truth behind Christ's early years and
understand His first true miracle, an event wrapped in sin
and destruction, an act that yet remains unfulfilled and
holds the only hope for the world.
The search for the truth will take Erin and the others
across centuries and around the world, from the dusty plains
of the Holy Land to the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean, from
the catacombs of Rome to an iron fortress in the
Mediterranean Sea, and at last to the very gates of Hell
itself, where their destiny--and the fate of mankind--awaits.
With The Blood Gospel, the first novel in the Order of the
Sanguines series, James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell
breathtakingly combined science, myth, and religion and
introduced a world where miracles hold new meaning and the
fight for good over evil is far more complicated than we
ever dreamed. In Innocent Blood they again take us to the
edge of destruction . . . and into the deepest reaches of
imagination.
