A theologically grounded epic where a contemporary Idaho story is threaded through a war among the celestial — drawn from the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation.
In a quiet corner of Idaho, Emmett Leyte has read the prophecies aloud all his life. He never imagined he would live to watch them come true outside his own front door. When the trumpets sound, the world turns on the faithful, and the few who gather around him must vanish into hiding to keep a hope the world has sworn to wipe away.
But the storm was set loose long ago, beyond the veil, where a brother’s love has curdled into ruin. Hêlêl has betrayed the Father, and only Mik’ael stands between him and the end of all things.
As I gazed out over the great expanse that is my Father’s house, I could not extinguish the emotions that welled up in me. I took a great breath and felt my entire being slow down as I became aware. Aware of the power that comes with this great ability and… responsibility.
I could feel the essence of all my Father’s creation as if their thoughts were now mine. I could reason with them as if my very desires were now theirs. It is like listening to a great orchestra of innumerable instruments all playing at once… I have finally become my name. I have become like our El; I am Mik’ael.

J. Micah Covey writes at the meeting point of faith and the far horizon. A devoted student of scripture, he is known for following the prophetic texts past their usual fences — unwilling to let modern eschatology draw the final boundary lines — and that searching spirit is the backbone of his fiction.
He and his wife make their home in Las Vegas, at the heart of a family that now spans four generations.
