Description
What's It About: Sabino lives a life typical for an Italian teenager—except that his world is dominated by Saints, modern superheroes who have fought off the Luciferals, demons who threatened to bring about the end of the world. When Sabino accidentally inherits a holy relic, the Church declares him a heretic; he’s rescued from certain death only through the help of the Martyrs, holy warriors who have inherited the powers, but not personalities, of the Saints. Now Sabino and the Martyrs are on the run, trying to stop another possible Apocalypse and tear down the corruption from within the church’s own ranks. Blending science fiction, Christian tradition, and super powered individuals, this novel, originally published in Italian, explores the depths some leaders will tread in the name of saving the world.
