In the Eyes of the Serpent — Carole Cargal Reeves

Ten generations have passed since Yah-Adon, the Placer-of-Stars, created his tiny, blue planet. Sin and corruption have worked their devastation into the land and the people. Now an ancient holy woman and a young man named Noah are among the few who remember the story written in the skies foretelling the coming of the Promised One who will redeem the human race from Abaddon and his unholy minions. For centuries these demonic beings, withdrawn to a remote corner of the universe, have waited to marshal their dark forces. The time has arrived. Utriel, the young woman Noah loves, finds herself caught in a web of deceit and seduction as the Great Deceiver attempts to corrupt the seed of man to prevent the coming of the Promised One. Thus begins the saga of a small remnant caught in the ageless struggle between good and evil. Book Two, The Keepers, will follow Utriel and her companions as they cross the vast, open plains to the blue sea beyond in their pursuit to fulfill their own destinies. Book Three, Deliver Us From Evil, will follow Asmodeus into the twenty-first century to Midwestern Ohio.
