When God cast the archangel Satan into Hell, ending the War
in Heaven, peace prevailed on Earth. Until the fallen angels
took revenge in the Garden of Eden. Ever since, mankind has
been in a struggle between good and evil,
paradise and apocalypse: the fall of Rome, the Crusades,
world wars, nuclear
proliferation, the Middle East crisis. The War in Heaven
never really ended—it
just changed venues. For millennia, God’s angels have been
fighting Satan’s
demons on Earth, all in hopes of bringing about Satan’s
greatest ambition—the
apocalypse.
And he has never been closer to his goal than right now.
Agent Bernadette Callahan is a talented investigator at a
shadowy government
organization known only as Section, on the trail of a serial
killer with
nearly supernatural abilities. Sebastian “Batty” LaLaurie is
a religious historian who
knows far too much about the other side—and that hard-earned
knowledge is
exactly what Callahan needs. This unlikely duo pairs up for
a race across the
globe, decoding clues left in ancient texts from the Bible
to Paradise Lost and
beyond. In the process they stumble upon a vast
conspiracy—one beyond the
scope of mankind’s darkest imagination.
