Apocalypse Rising

A Marine seeks his destiny,
A mother seeks her son,
A devil seeks vengeance,
Heaven seeks its scion.

For the past three millennia, each generation of mortals produced an Avatar and an Offspring to recruit followers in an endless war between the Heavenly and Hellish Divine.

Avatars wielded the lux, the benevolent power of light to chase away the darkness and help mortals live in peace and harmony.

The Offspring dominated with the dark powers of the crux; enticing mortals through trickery and deceit. Shadow and pain followed in their wake.

It is never known where they will manifest, but the Divine are ever vigilant, waiting for their progeny to once again walk the earth.

I wrote this story with the intentions of creating a good old-fashioned "man versus evil" action-horror. The story architecture is a throwback to all of those Saturday nights I spent watching Creature Features, and is a tribute to those old, simpler stories of good versus evil.

This is the second edition of my first novel, Heaven Seeks. I hope you enjoy it.
