Are You Ready for the End?
“Humanity has all but forgotten about the humanities on the way to Armageddon.” – Anthony T. Hincks
The modern world pays little attention to the skies. We are told our ancestors and their obsession with the heavens was just superstition and fear.
Perhaps we should share their fear. At any given moment, one storm on the Sun could end civilization. William Forstchen explores what would happen, in his novel, 48 Hours.
Darkness is Here. What Side are You On?
In an age lost to myth, all human life nearly vanished from the Earth. War erupted between men and demon. The Blood Rain fell from the skies, the land was scorched and torn. The waters came and completed the ruin of the world.
In time, people ceased believing in such tales. This is what the Darkness wanted. It waited until the stories were forgotten; a time when most thought it foolish to listen to the warnings of their ancestors. Among the shadows malice lurked, and signs from the Light were ignored. Centuries passed.
A shadowmancer arose to launch a new Scourge. Evils unseen since the ancient wars returned from the Abyss. The modern world would soon fall. No humans could stand against them. So the Followers thought.
Six Watchers, gifted by the Light, stood to meet the Darkness and destroyed the Dark One’s legions. The shadows receded, their terror extinguished. The Followers had been burnt by the Light.
Except one.
If a lost land could be raised, and the ageless weapon restored, she would have her revenge. New hordes would be brought through the veil. The final merging of both worlds completed. Ancient tales of the coming of the end of days made true.
An Awakening.
Will the Watchers, who had turned back what emerged from the shadows, be able to stand against a new onslaught? They will not fight alone. More of their kind, wielding gifts of great power, have also come forth. The Light surges in us all, but among the Watchers it is untamed and unbound. Only they can defeat what is coming.
In these last hours, they are our only hope.

Patrick: Son of Ireland
Slave, soldier, lover, hero, saint,—his life mirrored the cataclysmic world into which he was born. His memory will outlast the ages.
St. Patrick’s Day comes and goes every year with its parties and parades, yet very few spend any time getting to know the holiday’s namesake. Why is one man, centuries later, so remembered?
This is where Stephen Lawhead’s novel, Patrick: Son of Ireland, paints a vivid picture of Patrick’s world long lost to us. It is true what little we know of Patrick comes from a few surviving writings by his hand, and from others passing down traditions. Lawhead uses this framework to fill in the details of Patrick’s slavery in Ireland which shapes his life to come. We also witness his escape back to Britain, and in Lawhead’s version, travels to Rome. Everything in Lawhead’s vision of Patrick’s life is detailed and plausible, transporting readers to these ancient eras. You will travel the stark contrasts of Celtic Ireland to the fading glory of late imperial Rome. We don’t get to see Patrick’s triumphant transformation of Ireland — we know that part of the story. This is the origin story on how he became that saint, that legend.
