Inhaltsangabe

Join part angel Jonah Stone as he faces his biggest challenge yet!

Many months have passed since part angel siblings Jonah, Eliza, and Jeremiah Stone began their angelic training. As part angels, or quarterlings, the siblings joined other children of nephilim to begin honing their special powers.

In this third installment in the Son of Angels series, Jonah’s story comes to resemble a modern-day Job as he’s faced with trials that affect his health, strength, relationships, and most-prized possessions. As he and the other quarterlings prepare for mid-term exams, their powers are tested once again in the most fierce battle against Abaddon’s forces yet. Will Jonah’s faith in Elohim continue to persevere as he fights Abaddon in his hardest battle yet?

Parents today are looking for fiction that makes Christianity and the Bible exciting for their kids. This series is the first Christian answer to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Kane Chronicles, the Secret Series, and other middle-grade series packed with action, adventure, and supernatural fights. But the message is solidly based in Scripture, conveying God is always in control.

Meets national education standards.

Excerpt

CHAPTER 1

An UnwelcomeDiscovery


Jonah Stone was defending a New York street all by himself.Fallen angels, their wings withered and charred, swooped in,attacking him from all sides. There wasn't anyone he could callfor help. He was on his own. He tried to fight them, tried to turnaway or run, but he couldn't move and he couldn't look away. Hewas surrounded. Everywhere he looked, there was another fallenangel crawling out of a manhole, leaping from a window above, ormaterializing out of thin air. He looked up but saw only a crush ofdark feathers there too. There was no escape.

Jonah struggled to move down the street. It was as if he weretrying to pull his feet through thick sand. The harder he tried,the worse it became. His feet began to ache, a dull throb, like afeverish flu, moving up into his legs. His stomach, his arms, andall the way up his neck and into his head—everywhere he felt theaching, and it made it almost impossible for him to move.

Just when he was sure they were going to kill him, Jonah wokeup, the vision shattered. He blinked a few times, reminding himselfthat it was just a dream. His body wasn't aching. He didn'tseem to have a fever. He'd been having vivid, frightening dreamsever since the prophet Abigail had revealed to him that he wasa prophet too. He breathed in and out until he felt his heart ratebegin to slow again.

His eyes scanned his darkened bedroom in the convent. Theserooms sure haven't changed, he thought. The room held the samesimple wooden furniture—two beds and two desks against the wall,a worn circular rug on top of the old hardwood floor, and a smallwindow with a view of a brick wall. It wasn't much, but it was comfortingto be back in his familiar room after two weeks in Greece.

Jonah looked around for his roommate, David, the only quarterlingtaller than him, but he wasn't there. His bed was alreadyneatly made, and he was probably down at breakfast. David andhis sister, Ruth, were from Uganda, where their parents ran anorphanage for hundreds of kids. David knew as much about theBible as anyone Jonah knew, including his sister Eliza.

Jonah hadn't known there were others like him, other thanEliza and his brother Jeremiah, until they'd rescued their kidnappedmother from underneath the dark New York City streets. After all,they were what they were because of her. She was a nephilim—hermother was a human and her father was a fallen angel. When theyrescued her, they also found and rescued others like her.

That was over a year ago now, though it felt more like a lifetime.Back when their eyes were just opening to the reality that therewas so much more to life than what they could see, and that thedarkness of the battle between Abaddon and Elohim was going onbehind everything. The war between good and evil was invisibleto humans, but very, very real. Fallen angels could be around anycorner, ready to twist minds and hearts away from Elohim.

Last year, Jonah, Eliza, and Jeremiah had met not only theother nephilims' children, but also had begun Angel Schooltogether. Jonah still cringed when he thought about what couldhave happened to them all if Abaddon's recent attack on the schoolhad been successful. Thanks to the prophet Abigail, the angels,and most of all, Elohim, they had managed to push back the evil.

His friend David had been beside him every step of the way,helping and encouraging him, especially with the realization thatJonah, too, was a prophet.

Jonah grabbed a towel, shampoo, and soap and walked downthe hallway to the boys' bathroom to shower. There were threeshower stalls and a sink with a mirror over it. When he emergedfrom the shower, he stood in front of his reflection and did adouble take.

"What in the world is that?" he whispered, touching his face.There was a red spot just above his left eyebrow. He touched itand immediately wished he hadn't.

"Owww!" It was a giant zit and it hurt. He studied it in themirror from all angles. "Well, this is just great," he muttered. Hetried to pull his shock of hair down far enough to cover it, but itdidn't help.

Jonah tried to shrug it off as he headed down the steps and intothe dining hall. Most of the other quarterlings, with the exceptionof Frederick, noticeably absent, were already sitting at the longwooden...
