In a world altered by new magic, an outlawed church and a powerful nation clash, pushing a young priest's faith to the breaking point.
The time for an outlawed church’s triumph has come. Lloyd Hsu lives on a transformed Long Island, which has been devastated by magic powers unleashed on the world in the past seventy years. Hsu and his fellow adepts have clung to prophecies of their church’s founder, Harriman Ellis, telling of a chosen one who will lead them to victory over the neighboring nation that has long oppressed them. After years of anticipation, the prophecies are being fulfilled. The church rushes toward conflict, but Hsu is not ready for what the battle brings. He must question everything he once believed and attempt to rebuild his life when the core of his faith collapses.
A fast-moving fantasy novel set in a near-future North America altered by magic, "The Last Prophecies of Harriman Ellis" examines the persistence of faith and the stubborn desire to believe in times of disaster. Revealing a new world where the two largest organizations of wizards in the world fight for control and the loyalty of their people, the book tells of church members, resistance fighters, and a man older than the church who join Hsu’s fight to build something new in the middle of destruction.
