Science Fiction | Thriller

Dr. Peter Northcott was a historian. His academic life revolved around the unearthing and interpretation of evidence in an effort to reveal and understand the past. He learned early in his career that careful and methodical research would always separate facts from fantasy. His fierce scepticism and unwavering pursuit of the truth complemented his profession to a tee. Now on the eve of his thirty-third birthday and having secured the position of history teacher at the prestigious Scuola Garibaldi in Rome, Peter Northcott felt he had finally achieved a sense of normality in his life. The terrifying dreams, inexplicable bouts of revulsion and nausea and an uncanny power of influence over others that tortured him throughout his young life had ultimately been overcome. His life in Rome was regimented and predictable; just the way he wanted it, until a meeting with a mysterious priest in a medieval monastery just outside Rome initiated a series of events that would turn Peter Northcott's world upside down. The revelation of an ancient scroll, detailing the origins of the Astrum Divinus, a warrior born to destroy the "Enemies of Heaven", and the existence of a an ancient secretive sect whose mandate throughout the centuries was to protect the bloodline of the Astrum Divinus impels Peter to undertake an exhaustive investigation into the priest's incredible story. What he discovers goes far beyond reassessing our knowledge of medieval history; it reveals the imminent conflagration between good and evil and the battleground chosen for the Armageddon.
