Harbinger of the Apocalypse
The Luminaria Chronicles · Book 1
Father Declan Murphy has spent his life guiding seminary students toward God... until apocalyptic nightmares crack his certainty: inverted crucifixes, faceless congregations, and a voice in the dark that whispers his name like a warning. A mysterious stone artifact surfaces, pulsing with ancient power. A cult long thought buried is rising inside the Church itself. And somewhere, a child known as the Luminary is the only hope of stopping what comes next. Because the cult isn't seeking redemption. They're preparing a ritual to rip the veil between worlds, and unleash Daemons on humanity. To find the Luminary first, Declan must abandon everything he was: his collar, his reputation, his old understanding of good and evil, and follow the stone's terrible guidance from Savannah's haunted streets to a hidden temple beneath the Egyptian desert. But the cult's agents are already hunting him… and each vision is getting closer to prophecy. If Declan fails, he won't just witness the apocalypse. He'll help open the door. Harbinger of the Apocalypse is the explosive first installment in The Luminaria Chronicles, a supernatural thriller for fans of Ted Dekker, James Rollins, and Frank Peretti.
About the author
He writes the stories that kept him up at night. Now it's your turn.
His passion for storytelling was ignited in the fourth grade, thanks to an inspiring teacher who introduced creative writing in a way that made it feel like magic. That early spark became a lifelong love for reading and writing, and eventually led him to craft the kind of dark, suspenseful fiction he'd always wanted to find on the shelf.
