Misdiagnosed as schizophrenic, Eric Lynch’s hallucinations are actually precognition. Enter a demon who absorbs supernatural powers, and Eric’s about to become demon chow—unless he can convince a group of rogue angels that his deadbeat ass is worth protecting.
Being a college drop-out, working for minimum wage at a retail store, trying his best not to end up back in the asylum for a third time…it’s not like Eric is next in line for winning a Nobel Prize. So why are demons always so drawn to him, particularly this one nasty manticore who’s been hounding him for the past ten years, ever since he was thirteen?
Well, okay. Maybe it’s because not only can Eric see the future, but he can manipulate time too. Prophet is what the angels call him, and that’s exactly what makes Eric so appetizing. The only reason the manticore hasn’t eaten Eric yet is because it’s waiting for Eric’s powers to ripen. And let’s face it, a demon able to manipulate time means trouble for everyone. Better find someone who can deal with it—and quick.
After tracking a group of renegade angels to their hideout, it doesn’t take much convincing to get them on Eric’s side. Maybe too much on his side, because Eric soon realizes that once the manticore has been dealt with, these angels are likely to lock him up so they can use his Prophetic powers to fulfill their own demon-hunting agenda.
Angelic weapon or prime rib? Either way, Eric might be screwed.
