Of Sackcloth & Blood: Pestilence

A Dark Supernatural Thriller Where the Power to Heal May Be Humanity's Greatest Curse

When Sister Mary Agnes awakens from a terrifying vision of thousands of plague victims begging for salvation, she knows another Horseman of the Apocalypse is about to be revealed. But this time, the threat isn't an army of demons or an ancient weapon. It's something far more insidious—a deadly contagion that could sweep across the world, leaving millions dead in its wake.

Dr. Luther Cross has devoted his life to saving people. A wheelchair-bound physician and virologist working with Doctors Without Borders, he travels from one disease-ravaged region to another, treating the sick and comforting the dying. But Luther carries a secret no medical school could have prepared him for. With a single touch, he can draw disease from a patient's body into his own, performing miracles that defy science and reason. What he doesn't understand is why he possesses such a terrifying gift—or what it might ultimately cost him.

Because Luther Cross isn't simply a healer. He's Pestilence, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

And someone has been searching for him.

An ancient enemy with centuries of experience manipulating humanity's darkest impulses has unleashed a horrifying new weapon: engineered plagues capable of killing on an unimaginable scale. But the outbreaks are only the beginning. Behind them lies a calculated campaign to seize the power of the Horsemen themselves, gathering the instruments needed to unravel God's divine plan and reshape creation into something monstrous.

With a chain-smoking nun as his unlikely guide, Luther must confront the truth about his supernatural abilities and the terrible purpose for which they were intended. From disease-stricken medical camps in East Africa to the ancient religious sanctuaries of Ethiopia, their desperate journey will bring them face-to-face with ruthless mercenaries, unnatural horrors, and an enemy willing to sacrifice entire populations to achieve her goals.

And Luther will discover that the line between saving humanity and destroying it may be thinner than he ever imagined.

Pestilence, the second novel in the Sackcloth and Blood series, combines biblical mythology, supernatural horror, ancient conspiracies, and relentless action in a dark thriller about faith, sacrifice, and the terrible burden of wielding power over life and death.

Warning: This is not religious fiction. Expect graphic violence, disturbing depictions of disease and death, complex moral questions, and a reluctant Horseman whose greatest weapon may also be his greatest curse.
