Empire Christine Kerrick

In a city in the near future, artist Hope Mason hides herself away from a world becoming more polarized and violent every day. Art is her escape from an oppressive job and the increasingly violent world around her, including her enemy-a local police officer who seems bent on making her life difficult. But then the unthinkable happens: a global event that touches everyone on earth. As the dust settles, an enigmatic figure takes the global stage as world leader, brokering a 7-year peace treaty between Israel and her enemies. But as horrific events unfold just like the prophecies in ancient scripture that her grandfather told her about, Hope discovers the spiritual origins of the increasing wars, restrictive laws, viruses, famines, and even of the strange new leader whose self-title of Prince soon evolves into something more sinister. In a digital age where everyone is being watched, survival for believers depends on going underground and becoming virtually undetectable. The battle between good and evil rages on earth-and in the heavenlies. For all of humanity, including Hope, not choosing a side is a choice. And the clock is counting down. As staying alive becomes difficult, Hope must learn to trust what she can't see. There are only two sides. There is no middle ground. There is nowhere to hide. EMPIRE: End of the Age is a compilation of EMPIRE Books 1, 2 and 3, and contains special features such as 'How to Pack a Go Bag', a Tribulation timeline and sketch pages.
