In the mountains of Moldova, an incestuous murderer has been hailed as the Second Coming of Christ. A self-styled mystic and miracle-worker, Dracul Lupei has risen from brutal poverty to command a cult of thousands. In remotest Romania, a gypsy woman protects her pregnant belly. By her side is Adam Sabir, guardian of the lost quatrains of Nostradamus. He knows this unborn child will fulfil the most important prophecy of all.
In a polluted sinkhole in Mexico, four siblings pledge themselves to vengeance. An ancient cabal dedicated to serving the Antichrist, the Corpus Maleficus are sworn to destroy the Second Coming. But first they must find Adam Sabir. The Corpus know about Dracul's past. They know he is not the true Saviour. And they know they must do anything to help him survive. For only then can the Third Antichrist fulfil his destiny… and wreak destruction on the world. -
