"WHATEVER KINGDOM IT IS YOU ATTEMPT TO BUILD, DO SO KNOWING THIS: IT WILL BE NOTHING MORE THAN A KINGDOM OF SAND BUILT ON A STRETCH OF BEACH. AND REST ASSURED I WILL BE THE INCOMING TIDE." Havenhid is all abuzz over the trial of Jacob Parrish, who has also become known in the whispered rumors traded amongst his fellow Nephilim as "Son of Sam." The Iucidium Tribunal has convened the hearing to determine once and for all whether Jacob is, indeed, the prophesied Light Bearer most at Havenhid have come to believe him to be. The Tribunal's chief interrogator Sandel, whose made no secret of his immense disdain for the boy, has every intent, however, of not only disproving the idea he believes to be a blatant and blasphemous falsehood, but discrediting Jacob's very existence as well as nothing more than a bad seed planted in Eden by the dark forces of the Underneath. But when Jacob's father Samael, newly freed from his torturous internment in the Infernal Desert, shows up unexpectedly to deliver his own petition to the Tribunal, all Hades is unleashed upon Eden. As Gotham embarks on a fevered search for a way to scuttle Samael's plan, Jacob and his friends come up with own scheme to cut Samael ö at the pass using the Scucca Urns Hunter stole from their extremely hostile Pethen guardians. Their ploy quickly hits a roadblock when they realize they need a certain relic from the biblical past in order for their plan to succeed. A race against time ensues as Max and Kairo volunteer to embark on a desperate and dangerous search for the one thing capable of keeping their friend safe from the clutches of the Underneath, and preventing the light of the sacred prophesy reborn in Jacob from being snüed out once again.

Autorenporträt
August Arrea avoids the spotlight with the same aversion as a vampire does to the sight of the approaching dawn. As a 3rd generation American of European decent, he also has had the good fortune to be born with a name with strong ties to history and cultural heritage over many generations. On the other hand, such names can be a real chore since they are typically an alphabet soup of what often appear to be conflicting letters that don't seem to belong, sprinkled with connecting vowels. As such, he has had to, at times, spend a wearisome part of his life correcting what seemed to be a never ending mass of people, unable to pronounce, spell or even translate his name correctly; even on official documents. For these two reasons, during the process of turning his attention to writing this series of books, he has embraced the christening and adoption of this new and simple pseudonym. Moniker aside, over the course of the last 25 years, this limelight dodger with a "speed bump" for a name, first made his mark writing as an award-winning journalist who loved uncovering the gems of stories hidden in plain sight on Any Street, U.S.A. He eventually turned his skills of mining for stories by drilling into the unexplored caverns of his imagination; the 'Tales of the Nephilim Brotherhood' series is comprised of the core samples of his quarry expedition. Today, he is still a working journalist by trade with a national newspaper company. He lives in California's central valley where spotlights are rare, but the butchering of his name remains an inescapable, yet pardonable occurrence. When he's not writing, you'll likely find him with his best girls: two Australian Shepherd sisters named Gracie and Ember with whom he has absolutely no shame in readily admitting he engages in baby talk and the occasional slobbery smooch on the lips.
