When everything fell into place, the whole world would know. In just over a year, every soul on Earth would know, the master had said. He smiled in the comfort of that knowledge.
Good and evil battle for control in Frank Emili's terrifying debut, Last Descendant.
When Detective John Bernard and his partner are assigned to a series of murders, the thread that links them is intriguing: all victims share a similar beauty mark on their bodies.
While speaking with a local priest who attended all of the victims' funerals, John is violently attacked.
Barely escaping with their lives, the priest explains to John that the attackers belong to a religious cult calling themselves The Brotherhood of the Rapture, led by the blood-frenzied soldier Gabriel. They believe that the last descendant of Judah Iscariot, stained with a unique beauty mark, will give birth to the Antichrist.
However, the priest belongs to a rival faction called The Protectors of the Truth, who believe Judah's bloodline will actually give birth to the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.
Can John help find this mysterious woman who has fled into hiding before The Brotherhood does?
