DECORATED DENVER DETECTIVE BOBBY MACAULAY has faced down a truckload of tragedy over recent years. The death of his partner; the loss of his own leg in the line of duty; the companionship of his beloved wife to cancer; the relationship with his son to a chasm of disenchantment a disappointment; his faith in God to his inner demons. And just when he is questioning the very career that has been his salvation-his port in a cataclysmic storm-he will discover a heroic history about his own family heritage: Generations of sentinels and conscripts of faith; protectors and servants of humanity. The story of the holy mission of the Clan of MacAulay. A family at the very roots of a millenniums-long war against unimaginable evil. The unearthing of his lineage will provide answers to questions that have always haunted his periphery, and some that he's never known to ask. Much will be asked of him in return. Detective Bobby Mac will be charged to find it in himself to believe-to accept that such evil, such ageless horror, still threatens the world's tenuous grasp on innocence, righteousness, and normalcy. Even in 21st century America.
