The Exorcist meets Da Vinci Code...

 

As a New York City police detective, Ed Holloway has stared down the barrel at criminals of every kind. Yet, nothing can prepare him for the ancient evil stirring beneath the city streets.

The world watches in awe as the Catholic Church unveils a new ritual—the Eighth Sacrament. Promising an unprecedented connection with the afterlife, it offers solace, mystery, and a glimpse beyond death’s veil. But not all miracles come from the light…

A dark force seizes its moment to rise. And Ed Holloway is caught in a web of supernatural intrigue and earthly peril, when he discovers the sacrament’s true purpose—a facade for a secret society’s vision of the apocalypse. 

Thrust into an unlikely alliance with a determined young exorcist and a beautiful INTERPOL agent, Ed rushes from the darkest corners of Manhattan to the shadowy catacombs of the Vatican. Battling supernatural threats and human deceit, the trio races against time to save humanity from a hellish demise.

But is it already too late to stop this ancient evil before it consumes the world as we know it?
