Angelica

What if a possessed child was the world’s only hope for salvation?

In the small town of Angelica, New York, it is discovered that a ten-year-old boy named Kyle Tompkins is possessed—not by some evil spirit, but by the angel Gabriel. The angel is not hurting the child; he is trying to warn those around him that the child is part of a prophecy and that there is a gathering storm that seeks to kill the boy. When it is discovered one of Kyle’s own family members is part of the conspiracy against him, his mother takes him and flees along with their pastor, Michelle Heller, and a Franciscan Friar, Daniel LaBeau. They soon learn the depth of their adversaries’ organization as they flee from one sanctuary to another with killers seemingly always encircling them. As they continue to seek safe refuge, they search for answers: What makes Kyle so special and why do so many people want him dead? As they discover the truth behind what is happening, they learn just how daunting their mission truly is and how important it is for them to succeed.

Angelica is a supernatural thriller that cites biblical verses, as well as written sources on angelogy, demonology, and eschatology to provide an enriching look at the supernatural beyond that of most contemporary fiction. Angelica is also a message for people of faith in dark and troubling times and perhaps a guiding light to lead the way out of the darkness.
