Tyrant: Rise of the Beast (Chronicles of the Apocalypse) (Volume 1) Paperback – February 21, 2017

Hatred of Christians is Nothing New
Ancient Rome, A.D. 64. Alexander, a young Jewish doctor, is torn between his loyal Roman citizenship and his passionate Jewish faith. As a personal physician to Roman Prefect Severus, he is ushered into the circle of the evil emperor Nero Caesar, a tyrannical beast with diabolical plans of Christian genocide.
Nero blames the Great Fire of Rome on the Christians, which leads to the horrific persecution of the early church including the martyrdom of the apostles Peter and Paul. Alexander finds himself in the middle of this madness, trying to stay alive and protect the Jews from the emperor’s paranoia.
Nero discovers that an unknown apostle has written a secret apocalypse scroll rumored to prophesy the destruction of Rome and the end of the world. So he orders Severus and Alexander to find the author, destroy all copies of his scroll and kill him.
But Severus’s servant, a bold Christian woman named Cassandra, holds a dark secret that opens the door to a world of spiritual warfare they’re not ready to face. It will lead them directly to the true meaning of the apocalypse, the book of Revelation, and it will change their lives forever.
Spiritual Warfare, Sword and Sorcery, Angels and Demons
The human story is not the only one in the book of Revelation or in this series. Chronicles of the Apocalypse shows the evil plans of Satan and his fallen angels the Watchers masquerading as gods of the nations at war. This gang of demons is not going down easily.

Interesting.

One of my favorite Christian Fiction authors is Frank Peretti. I loved his books "This Present Darkness" and "Piercing the Darkness." If you haven't read them, I highly recommend it. Both tell the story of a small-town church and what is happening in the spirit world between angels and demons -- and the power of prayer to battle against evil.
