All his life, Dr. Peter Northcott has been plagued by

disturbing dreams—apocalyptic scenes of angels and

demons and visions of fire and blood. Concentrating on

his scholarly life in Rome, Peter is approaching his thirty-

third birthday when he is accosted by a mysterious priest.

Father Renauld claims to have important information

regarding Peter's destiny. He spins a tale of secret

societies and ancient texts and enemies who not only

threaten Peter himself but the whole of creation.

Peter retreats to his adopted parents' home in England.

Even there, he is haunted by dreams of Armageddon.

His parents beg him to listen to the priest's story. Can

these intelligent people really believe in a war of cosmic

proportions? What was the true motivation behind

Peter's adoption?

Reluctantly, Peter visits a subterranean cavern, situated

deep in the bowels of the Pyrenees Mountains, to

retrieve an ancient scroll. Records of fire, murder, and

secrets echo Peter's visions, but can he really be the

divine star, the savior of the world?

The idea is unthinkable, but what if it is true? What if he

is the Astrum divinus?
