God's last prophet attempts to stop the birth of the Antichrist.
The God Chronicles trilogy is an epic fantasy of the battle between good and evil. If you liked the story behind the movies Constantine, Michael, or the Seventh Sign, you should enjoy this one. An archangel named Raphael is sent to the earth to inform Thomas Mumin that he is God’s last prophet. Thomas thinks God has made a mistake, but no one will listen to him. He has led an imperfect life and in the eyes of the church is a sinner. How could he be God’s greatest warrior. He is a nobody. Eventually Thomas accepts the responsibility but shudders to think that he must battle Lucifer and his followers. Thomas finds out through Raphael that God has given him various powers, but he must discover what they are on his own. So far all Thomas has learned is a few parlor tricks, nothing of any significance.
In this second book of the trilogy Thomas realizes the only way to prevent Lucifer from starting Armageddon is by stopping the birth of the Antichrist. Read about his struggles as he chases Lucifer across Europe. When Thomas meets with the pope he gets hit in the head with a religious artifact. In time Thomas teams up with genius that becomes possessed by a fallen angel. The odd threesome begins to click on all cylinders as they work together to stop Lucifer.
Thomas begins to have premonitions, but doesn’t know if they are a gift from God or Lucifer playing tricks. During the chase he gets stabbed, beat up by Dark Gypsies, and almost killed by demons. Will collaborating with a fallen angel be his downfall?
Excerpt
Niku stepped on the altar where a young girl was dressed in a white gown and chained so that she could not move. A short curtain kept the girl hidden from the view of gypsies until Niku was in place. The curtain was moved back, and there was shock as the gypsies saw the young girl chained to the altar. Her mouth was taped shut, but everyone could see the horror in her eyes. Rayus watched the little girl struggle. He became so empathetic that he had to turn his face away to avoid feeling her fear.
Niku looked at the tribe from a position over the little girl. He grabbed the ceremonial knife, which had a curved blade designed to cut the heart in half when used in a downward stroke. Niku raised the knife and said, “Lucifer, we offer you this sacrifice in the hopes that you will show yourself to your loyal followers.

The One Path
This is the second edition of the second book in the God Chronicle's trilogy. I thought the first book was great, this one is even better. Thomas the main character reluctantly takes up the mantle of God's last prophet. Fallen angels in the form of demons immediately try to kill Thomas. Thomas teams up with secondary characters and begin to chase Lucifer across Europe to stop the birth of the Antichrist. It's just too cool. There are so many twists and turns I couldn't keep up with them. The blending of truth and fantasy is superbly done. A must read
The hoar witch and her forest full of malformed creatures await Vanx and his curious group of companions as they try to save the fairy folk and their magical Heart Tree from the powerful old crone and her evil.
