Get ready for an unforgettable journey in Edition 2, where the captivating story unfolds through Protagonist Emanuella Crumley and her fierce rival, Mirabella Janssen.
Sent by Semperian, Emanuella arrives on Earth in 1908 on a critical mission: to end the third dark hell or risk losing Earth and the universe to Apollyon forever. Before she was born, her Earth mother, Delilah Janssen, conspired with a village witch to kill her and replace her with Mirabella, created from the dark lord Apollyon Diabolus's sperm, imprisoned in the third hell by Semperian, the guardian of Source. The Apollyon energy embodies pure evil, a force unprecedented in a millennium, and nearly impossible to vanquish.
Set against the backdrop of the powerful West African empires of Mali and Songhai in the 1600s, this tale traces the tragic slave trade to the fictitious town of Baldwin, Alabama, where immigrants known as Towners succumbed to smallpox after the hanging of an enslaved African prince in 1636. His royal bloodline resurrected the town's founder, Thonis Baldwin, and the deceased Towners, who now live immortally, bound by a blood covenant that requires human sacrifices every 17 years-though they have broken a sacred universal law.
Emanuella's battle begins in Delilah's womb, fighting against Mirabella and a lethal poison of lilacs. She must survive to free the African Prince imprisoned in the third hell, who will aid in defeating Apollyon and its 17 million minions.
Delilah, married to one of the covenant's founders, continues to plot Emanuella's death to ensure Mirabella fulfills the dark lord's intention to rule Earth and the Universe, thus securing the Towners' immortality without further sacrifices.
Will Emanuella or Mirabella triumph at the hanging Tree on the Solstice Blood Moon? Join this thrilling journey from their birth to Baldwin, Alabama, where forces clash to either protect Earth and the universe in Semperian light or succumb to eternal darkness ruled by Apollyon Diabolus Fallen 17.
