The Legacy Chronicles
Luke Romyn
Corpus Christi (Book 1)
Haunted by the toxic memories of a torturous foster-father, Jacob Hope yearns to make a difference in a world gone awry, trying to accomplish some small scrap of good in an ocean of wrong. Tumbling through life with no true direction, Jake unwittingly reveals a nightmare.
The gates of Hell have been unlocked, and something long imprisoned has broken loose from its shackles to roam free upon the Earth. It cannot be bargained with, it cannot be defeated, and it exists with only desolation in its heart….
Longing to confront such evil but not knowing how, Jake must embark upon a journey not only of destination, but of self-discovery. In his attempts to thwart a fallen angel, Jake must also come to grips with his own part in this almighty drama.
For above it all haunts the inheritance he alone must bear, a legacy which will save or doom all of mankind.
Sins of the Father (Book 2)
Hell has been unleashed into the world of men, we just don’t know it yet. One man has unlocked the doors separating Earth from Hell, and now humanity will pay the ultimate price.
Unless Jacob Hope can save them.
The scars of the past rarely fade, but Jake has managed to heal many of his, knowing that to continue on his crusade he must enter the final battle as more than just a man, he needs to be a leader, a figurehead for all mankind.
Having managed a surprise victory over the immortal Abaddon, Jake sets forth to thwart the plans of the Fallen. His search leads him through exotic locations in a hunt for vital information to aid him in the final battle.
And yet information might prove to be his greatest enemy.
Dragged into Hell, Jake is confronted by Satan, who reveals a secret which devastates all Jake holds to be true.
As Jake begins to lose control of the ever-darkening power contained within him, his confidence frays and his search for answers becomes more and more desperate.
The Lord of Hell has claimed him as his son:
The Antichrist.
Rise of the Fallen (Book 3)
Society has fallen, crumbling amid the failed plans of a man named Hope. Beasts from Hell run rampant upon the green hills once denied to them, feasting upon life, awaiting their time of dominance, the time when the Fallen, led by Lucifer, achieve utter victory.
That time draws near.
But Jake battles on. He holds plans of his own, a tenuous strategy which will determine the future of all mankind. Together with his followers he must trek across a globe bereft of technology, discovering mysteries both incredible and terrifying, in a last desperate attempt to close the gates of Hell once and for all.
And behind everything lurks the enigmatic assassin named Vain. Within him dwells something so devastating even the Fallen cower from it. In the end will he prove to be Jake’s ally… or the greatest enemy of all?
The Dark Path (Precursor)
New York’s underworld quivers at the mention of his name. Evil courses through his veins like blood and his conscience has lain dormant for over a decade while he has slashed and burned his way to the top of the food chain. Vain.
“Astonishing insight into apparently amoral evil, derived from pain… To term this novel “A Psychological Thriller” would, IMO, misrepresent its sensitivity and power. The Dark Path is a book that seems to defy categorization, which is an amazing accomplishment… This book casts a spell that is, for me, more beautiful than horrifying.” Mysterious Microburst “Apocryphal Raven
The Dark Man, born of torment into an existence of death. In the underworld of killers he reigns supreme. And yet he is chosen for a task of supreme benevolence. Why would he be selected to save a young boy, the Avun-Riah, and then protect him against a horde of enemies, both mortal and demonic? Because he is the only one with any hope of success.
“Ah, this is seasoned writing. 5 PLUS STARS… This deserves wide acclaim. The Dark Path is one fantastic thrill ride.” Glen Cantrell
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have risen from the pits of Hell and, along with a fanatical army of cultists, are ranged against Vain. If the boy is slain then Sordarrah will be raised to destroy the Earth, a feat even Lucifer never managed.
“A compelling, thought provoking…EXCELLENT MUST read!! … The book is brilliantly written…bringing such vivid life to his characters…and mind provoking predicaments… It has been a very long time since I found myself so involved in a work of fiction.” A.J. Luck
Evil is being used to fight evil in the ultimate battle for the outcome of all existence. Armageddon sits upon the horizon and all that stands in its way is a man whose path has always been dark…
