About the Author

I dedicate this book to my father. Without him, the world of the Wrath Walker could not have been brought to life. Thank you for always being there for me, dad.

As always, I thank my readers.

1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

7 Therefore do not be partners with them.

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 

Ephesians 5:1-13 (NIV)

Chapter OneLuciferian High Priest

Den of Sacrifice

A WAVE OF EXCITEMENT filled me as I stood in the Den of Sacrifice.

It was a white room with pentagrams painted in red on all four walls, floor, and ceiling, and an altar of sacrifice positioned directly in the center of the room. I couldn’t get the smile off my face, even if I wanted to, as I meticulously cleaned the blood from my ceremonial dagger. My elders had just returned from the specialized furnace where they’d disposed of the body from the night’s sacrifice that Lucifer had requested. The ceremony continued to lay the groundwork for Lucifer’s ultimate plan for the city. I had performed and overseen many of those sacrificial rituals at Lucifer’s request over the years. He said only the blood of certain individuals could accomplish all he had hoped and dreamt about for years, and I longed to be a vital part in helping him accomplish his goals. That night had a greater significance than others, because I had a vision when my men exited the room.

“By the smile on your face I take it you are pleased with how the events of this evening went,” one of my elders said to me as he adjusted his robe. We all wore black robes with hoods that completely covered our faces. Mine was the exception, because it was trimmed with gold that communicated to the group that I was above them in authority and power. Those were my most trusted men who were all handpicked by Lucifer to aid me in my service to him. We never called each other by name in that room, just in case an outsider listened, but for so much more. We were Lucifer’s nameless and faceless followers who were destined to help remake the world in his image, and thereby save all of humanity from the lies of other spirit beings that had been promulgated by man for generations.

“Yes, my dear friend I am more than happy, because I had a vision from Lucifer the moment you all left to dispose of the remains of the sacrifice.”

They were all silent and in awe as they all wanted to know what I had seen, but none of them wanted to be the first to ask and appear weak and needy. After I felt they all had experienced the proper amount of suspense, I told them of what I had been shown.

“Lucifer came to me and told me how pleased he was by our unwavering and loyal dedication to his cause of purifying the city, and the time has come to offer up the ultimate sacrifice. This person’s life will be relieved upon the altar before us on a night not long from now. Lucifer said we would know when the time was right, because this person would come here to us on their own.”

All my elders seemed more than satisfied with that revelation.

“Is there anything we need to do to prepare for that momentous night, sir?”

“Yes. We must remain vigilant to not give ourselves away, because there are still people in the city who could potentially stop us. Many of them go to that infernal Holy Anointed Church, so be mindful when you interact with anyone who attends service there. Also, Lucifer warned that other spirit beings might try to interfere and stop the good work we are trying to accomplish, so we must be ever watchful, so no one suspects a thing about who we really are. Fear not my friends, because once the blood of the ultimate sacrifice is spilled out upon the sacred altar, this city will be cleansed. The purifying flow will not stop until it
