In a world teetering on the brink of Armageddon, where ancient prophecies collide with modern-day chaos, one woman, Cloe Lejeune, holds the key to humanity’s survival.
Van Mayhall Jr.’s “7” is a gripping tale of faith, prophecy, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. The story follows Cloe, an expert in ancient languages, who finds herself at the center of a perilous mission to decipher a mysterious journal linked to biblical figures.
St. Peter’s Basilica is blown up and the Vatican itself is sacked by a dark force emerging from its thousand year imprisonment. Famine blossoms, wars break out, and the United States is placed under martial law. As global unrest escalates and Christians face severe persecution, Cloe, along with a group of seven unlikely heroes, is drawn into a battle against a malevolent force named Icar, threatening to plunge the world into darkness.
Set against the evocative backdrops of modern-day Jerusalem, Lyon, France, and the United States, including key scenes at LSU Baton Rouge, “7” explores themes of destiny, faith, and the cyclical nature of good and evil. The story is full of suspense and mystery, combining ancient prophecies with modern religious and political issues, all leading to a powerful and frighteningly relevant battle.
Mayhall crafts a world where faith and prophecy are not just abstract concepts but the driving forces of a high-stakes battle for the future of humanity. Cloe’s journey, alongside the inexperienced yet chosen young boy Robby the leader of the 7 and his best friend Bully a hundred pound English bulldog, is fraught with danger, betrayal, and spiritual challenges, keeping readers on the edge of their seats.
If you’re drawn to stories that blend ancient mysteries with modern-day thrillers, “7” is a must-read. Mayhall’s masterful storytelling will leave you questioning the thin line between faith and fate, and eagerly turning pages as the ultimate showdown between good and evil unfolds.
