All his life, Dr. Peter Northcott has been plagued by 
disturbing dreams--apocalyptic scenes of angels and 
demons and visions of fire and blood. Concentrating on 
his scholarly life in Rome, Peter is approaching his thirty-
third birthday when he is accosted by a mysterious priest. 
 
Father Renauld claims to have important information 
regarding Peter's destiny. He spins a tale of secret
societies and ancient texts and enemies who not only
threaten Peter himself but the whole of creation. 
 
Peter retreats to his adopted parents' home in England. 
Even there, he is haunted by dreams of Armageddon. 
His parents beg him to listen to the priest's story. Can
these intelligent people really believe in a war of cosmic 
proportions? What was the true motivation behind 
Peter's adoption? 
 
Reluctantly, Peter visits a subterranean cavern, situated
deep in the bowels of the Pyrenees Mountains, to 
retrieve an ancient scroll. Records of fire, murder, and 
secrets echo Peter's visions, but can he really be the 
divine star, the savior of the world? 
The idea is unthinkable, but what if it is true? What if he 
is the Astrum divinus?
