New Orleans, 1975. In the candlelit archives of Notre Dame Seminary, Jonah Crossfield—a young seminarian from Mississippi—uncovers a forbidden manuscript marked 666. Its ancient pages speak of hidden gospels, sacred geometry, and a truth older than the Church itself: that God is not above man, but within him.
When a secret Vatican order moves to silence the discovery, Jonah is forced into the city’s shadows with Sister Renée, a Creole librarian fluent in forgotten tongues, and Rue Baptiste, the seminary’s night janitor who knows every tunnel beneath its holy ground.
Hunted through crypts, cathedrals, and Garden District mansions, they learn the war between light and darkness has never been holy—only human.
A Southern Gothic religious thriller of faith, heresy, and awakening.
