Persecution Stories

They call them Anomalies. Superpowered individuals feared as disasters waiting to happen. To the powerless majority, Anomalies are ticking time bombs. To governments and corporations, they are assets to be controlled... or erased. So humanity fights back-developing technology capable of suppressing their abilities. The world calls it protection. Anomalies call it a leash. As fear hardens into pride, tensions rise. Alliances fracture. And the line between survival and extinction begins to blur. At the center of it all is Nolan-a quiet, haunted young man whose powers defy understanding, even his own. Marked by the world he never asked to threaten, Nolan is forced into a future he never wanted. Because this war isn't about good versus evil. It's about belief versus fear. Mercy versus control. The world doesn't need a hero. It needs Him.

Just like the days of Noah so will it be, when Christ returns, returns, When he returns, the same Christ we mock, will appear in glory, to judge, to judge... I see that the saints are dwindling in numbers,  Because we are no longer eager to hold to the true faith, but we desire to stomach a little bit of truth mixed in with a whole lot of, living the way we want to,As if Christ is not coming back,The thought and truth that he is, and so soon, No longer stirs fire within our souls But it saddens me, when I feel like I'm so far,Distracted by life. It's so easy to forget the intimate time we need with Christ.Saints remember your first love,Never forget your first loveRepent and run back to him,Because has the days close,Persecution will increase, the hearts within this world are growing colder and harder, Like a child murdering his mother, Will become the norm,Never forget that treasure that found you,  And just like Andrew, turn to your brothers, And say  "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ).No time to be silent in this time,In this hour, Putting off the flesh, every sin, Through fasting and praying,And know that in Christ you are in free, To walk in righteousness,These are the last days,As the days draw nearer, Are you wise or foolish?

Meet Stellarium Academy and The Sisters of Night: An elite, female-dominated school and coven of witches deep in the woods of Uinta National Forest in Herber City, Utah; ran and led by the reigning Queen of Witches Headmistress Lyra. The school alone was the most coveted school by all witches (and some warlocks) to attend. Only by invitation would its location be known to the future student or students. While the school was envied by all, it was the coven that made many desperate to attend. Years of fighting, cultivating, and peaceful negotiating made this coven the most powerful in the western hemisphere, earning them a bright and well-deserved rapport of praise. Five such peculiar hopefuls are among those who wait with anxious excitement: Luna, a werewolf witch; Jaylin, a half-werewolf, half-human, witch; Lilith, a human witch, a mysterious fourth stranger, and Deliah, a fallen Immortal cursed to live as a human witch. Though they have nothing in common, these five would find that their bond goes deeper than anything the academy will offer them. Many types of creatures attend this school, few are permitted to join the coven permanently, but all have one thing in common that binds them: the blood of the witch that runs through their veins. Will that bond be enough to survive the school year?

BOOK 1 - Rusticus' Journey In 395 AD, a young librarian named Rusticus discovers a plot by Theophilus, the powerful Archbishop of Alexandria, to alter sacred Christian texts to support his own theological and political agenda. Faced with an impossible choice, Rusticus must decide whether to stand by and watch as history is rewritten, or risk everything to preserve the original documents. When Theophilus threatens to destroy the original manuscripts of the New Testament, Rusticus and his friend Marcus embark on a dangerous mission to steal and protect them. But their daring heist sets off a chain of events that will force Rusticus to flee for his life, leading him on an epic journey from Alexandria to Constantinople and beyond. Along the way, he forms an unlikely alliance with the fierce and independent Dalilah, who challenges everything he thought he knew about faith, truth, and love. Together, they must navigate political intrigue, religious persecution, and their growing feelings for each other while staying one step ahead of Theophilus's relentless pursuit. As they delve deeper into the ancient texts they're protecting, they uncover troubling discrepancies between the original writings and the doctrine being enforced by the Empire. Their search for truth will bring them face to face with John Chrysostom, one of history's most beloved and controversial church fathers, whose own struggles with orthodoxy mirror their own. A gripping tale of romance, faith, and courage, this historical fiction novel explores the price of truth in a world where power corrupts and questioning doctrine means risking everything. Based on real historical events and figures, it offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in Christian history when the quest for orthodoxy threatened to override the very teachings it sought to preserve.
