Take my hand; I am going to tell you an epic tale...

Millennial paradise is shattered by betrayal and ritual murder, an act so heinous it tears the supernatural veil and frees Marduk, Lucifer's second in command. Loosed after a thousand years, Marduk aligns with Prince Korah, the most dangerous rebel on Earth.

When royal cousins, Josiah and Peter, discover the truth, Josiah, the heir, must flee. Peter is left behind, forced to live with his homicidal father and the evil spirit lurking in the shadows. Caught in a web of supernatural adversity and Palace intrigue, the two Princes plot revolution while the Kingdom of Alanthia spirals into rebellion and war.

Far from home, two pilgrims, Davianna and Astrid, receive a mysterious artifact from the Last Age. Charged with keeping it safe, they do not comprehend their peril or the power resting in Davianna's left pocket. When their camp is attacked, they escape, becoming fugitives in a worldwide manhunt.

The action never stops, political intrigue abounds, as the Millennium teeters on destruction. Lives and hearts collide as the Princes and the Pilgrims battle evil and evade all who covet-The Black Key.
