Book overview
As the world recovers from a devastating seven-year holy war, John, an oversized fourteen-year-old mulatto orphan, travels west to the shattered city of Los Angeles, where he plans to hunt down the men who destroyed his family.
After a black cat foils his plans, John is sent to a state boarding house, where he befriends two younger misfits: Simon, a Japanese self-proclaimed bad boy, and Emmanuel Jesus Gideon, an eloquent, emerald-eyed albino.
Following Father Michael's sudden disappearance, the three orphaned teens embark on a quest to recover sacred artifacts that Emmanuel believes are vital to restoring family values and faith in an increasingly godless world.
Will John cling to revenge or choose forgiveness? Is the bounty on their heads linked to Father Michael's disappearance? And why did Emmanuel recruit the beautiful fourteen-year-old redhead for such a dangerous journey?
This sweeping adventure weaves compassion, danger, mystery, prophecy, and a touch of romance into a thrilling page-turner for readers of all ages.
