    About this ebook

    Sacrifice is the only constant in the eternal battle between good and evil in this “brilliantly imaginative” religious thriller (Kirkus Reviews).
     
    Kate Skylar is an ordinary seventeen-year-old until she finds herself pregnant—even though she’s a virgin. She believes a true miracle has happened and the child she carries is the Son of God.

    But the Catholic Church is convinced Kate is carrying the Antichrist, and—assisted by an artificial intelligence entity known as Grand Inquisitor—they will stop at nothing to kill her son, Ethan. For his protection, Ethan is taken at birth and hidden by the Conversatio, a secret organization dedicated to the Second Coming. Ethan grows up in anonymity, ignorant of his true identity. But he is still being hunted.
     
    Unsure of his path and not knowing whom to trust, Ethan must come to terms with his unearthly abilities and make a fateful choice that will determine the future of all mankind.

    “With its deeper, more sophisticated narrative, classifying Burton’s brilliantly imaginative effort as a Da Vinci Code thriller sells it short.” —Kirkus Reviews
