The 21st Codex

David Sumner

On the morning of the last day in the fifth lunar cycle in the year 9436 BC the comet Wormwood, torn by gravitational forces, broke into seven pieces and impacted the surface of the First Realm, the realm of man. Mankind would persevere. This, we know from ancient texts, biblical and apocryphal writings. What is not known is who was there on that fateful day. NSA Agent Richard Lawton Cole is drawn into a world that he never knew existed; a world of secret Orders, thought to be extinct. What starts out as a political murder in Washington DC, becomes a journey to Europe and its bloody medieval past. Compelled to leave his expectant wife, Cole travels to Europe and there the government trained agent finds himself completely out of his depth. He discovers that mankind are pawns in a war, that was prophesised in an ancient Codex over 11, 000 years ago, between two powerful army's; the angelic of the Seven Heavens and the Fallen, who fell from the grace of God. Within the pages of the 21st Codex lies the story of history and prophecy. Mankind has been searching for the pages in a vain hope to save the future. The Fallen want the pages to use the knowledge to destroy. As Guardian of the First Realm - Gabriel's mission is to teach mankind that the field belongs to them, but they will have to fight for it. However, there are forces that are preventing him in his mission, but at hand is an old friend, a female angelic called Iinnad who does not follow the rules. Gabriel chooses to be Agent Cole's guide and leads him through a trail of murder, love, betrayal, revenge and sacrifice, until finally the human opens his eyes.
