Book 4 of the Venator Series: The Sacrifice


The devil’s children walk the Earth. Many have come and gone, never knowing of their true parentage. But one has laid claim to the title of Antichrist, and will stop at nothing to realize that destiny. Only a few Venatores remain who are willing, or able, to fight the war for humanity’s fate against the armies of Hell. Their only hope lies with the one person who can wield the devil’s own power against the demons walking amongst us. But will they be strong enough to make a last stand? And what – or who – will they be willing to sacrifice to save the world?
