Raven, a man who has battled with and defeated his own death. He lives in a world, where all religion was banned centuries ago. The world of Man, at the edge of extinction. Vampire hoards roam the land. Many have evolved into more than mere bloodsuckers, taking humans for slaves, food, and breeding stock.
The Earth, a planet devoid of natural resources, a place, ripped apart by nuclear wars. Food is a luxury and cannibalism is a natural way of life – the dead, the weak and the dying – nothing is wasted that could be eaten.
Raven and a small group of vampire hunters have retreated to South Africa, waiting for a sign that the Messiah has returned.
The story opens with Raven having returned from North Africa. From a distance he witnessed a nomad apparently preaching to a group of villagers. As the sun sets, vampires attack, killing all but the nomad, who is taken prisoner.
Is it a sign that the Second Coming has taken place?
Raven and his team take the perilous journey towards Jerusalem, where Raven believes the nomad has been taken.
If Raven is correct about the preacher, then the time of the Apocalypse is near. His destiny is not to stop it, but to make sure it happens.
