Description
It has been one hundred years since the Archangel Alleluia and the mortal Caleb discovered the truth about the god of Samaria. Legend says that they left a record of that truth, though no document has ever been found. In time, an underground cult arose, seeking to find again what Alleluia found. But the reigning Archangel Bael called down the wrath of Jovah upon the cult, and hundreds died in a hail of thunderbolts. Yet some still survive...Among them is the woman Tamar, child of cultists, raised in captivity among the angels. Tamar believes that the Alleluia Files - the actual disc on which the legendary Archangel recorded her experience - exist. She is determined to find it, and free the people of Samaria from their fear of Jovah, and the rule of the angels.
