It took two thousand years to bring the Firstborn together. It will only take a moment...to tear them apart. The Firstborn--three ancient religious orders gifted with the ability to see past, present and future--have formed a shaky truce for the first time since the death of Christ. But dangerous forces--both human and otherwise--are rising to destroy them. Torn between the call to rescue three innocent teenage girls abducted into sexual slavery, preventing the racially motivated assassination of a prominent American politician, and dealing with the wild warnings of an elusive and mysterious prophet, all eyes turn to the Overseer--and the struggle over who will control the fate of the Firstborn. Hannah Rice, John Temple, and Devin Bathurst return in this adrenaline-packed sequel to "The Firstborn" as they are hurled into a dark world of human trafficking, shadowy government agencies, assassination, and a race against time to save everything they believe in.
