Harold Waterman isn't like other boys, but when a clutch of interfering angels decide he's going to be the Antichrist that's going a bit too far.

Grown up and stricken with a terminal illness by the angel of pestilence, Harold summons a demon, and only then does he learn he comes from an unusual family. Well, more unusual than even he'd been aware of. As he and Jasfoup look for a cure, Harold discovers not only some rather useful talents but that the world as he knows it...isn't.
