The Chronicles of a Young Antichrist

Marcus Drago is twelve years old.

He goes to school. He loves his mother. He occasionally gets catastrophically bored. And, like most twelve-year-old boys, he has ideas.

Unfortunately for Heaven, Hell, and occasionally Earth, Marcus is not most twelve-year-old boys.

His father is Lucifer Morningstar, King of Hell. His grandfather is God. His extended family includes angels, demons, and several celestial beings who really should know better than to encourage him.

And Marcus?

Marcus is the Antichrist.

According to prophecy, he's supposed to grow up, embrace his destiny, and become one of the most terrifying beings Creation has ever known.

There is just one small problem.

Marcus has absolutely no interest in ending the world.

He does, however, have a lot of other ideas.

Ideas about how Hell could be improved. Ideas about whether eternal punishment has become unnecessarily boring. Ideas involving demons, celestial magic, historical monsters, and what constitutes a perfectly reasonable number of cats.

His father would prefer that he stop having ideas altogether.

His mother would settle for him thinking them through before acting on them.

Heaven has learned that silence usually means Marcus is planning something.

Hell has learned to evacuate first and ask questions later.

And Marcus is slowly learning that being the son of Lucifer isn't really about prophecy, power, or deciding the fate of mankind.

It's about deciding what kind of person he wants to become.

Preferably without giving his father an aneurysm.

The Chronicles of a Young Antichrist is a supernatural fantasy comedy about family, free will, Heaven, Hell, growing up with entirely too much power-and one twelve-year-old boy discovering that destiny is considerably less interesting than whatever idea he just had.

Heaven calls him the Antichrist.

Hell calls him the Crown Prince.

His mother calls him Marcus.

Lucifer usually just calls for backup.
