Inside the book
About the book.
Arakiel is an ancient Watcher seeking redemption beneath the weight of an oath that has endured across ages. When the Black Seal of Enoch resurfaces, the boundaries between guarded history and present danger begin to erode.
Adam “Nomad” Williams, a former Army MP and deliverance minister, is drawn into a conflict reaching from Kansas to the ancient lands of Seir. Military instinct, investigation, and faith become essential as human and spiritual enemies move toward a purpose hidden within the past.
Ancient powers, divided loyalties, and concealed history converge around a struggle larger than any single mission. Yet beneath the action lies a more difficult question: what sacrifice does redemption require, and can someone who has stood apart from God still choose to ask for mercy?
