Chance Hawthorne : Son of Perdition Publisher's Summary

Born from darkness but raised to believe in the light, Chance Hawthorne has spent his life unaware of the terrible inheritance waiting beneath the quiet Southern town of Perdition. Raised by a devoted preacher after his mother died giving birth to him, Chance grows into a man with a life of his own until ancient forces begin moving against him. Perdition was built over a wound in creation, where the mortal world stands dangerously close to the upper reaches of Hell. For generations, the Hawthorne bloodline and the mysterious Keepers of the Hourglass have guarded the secret. Now the barriers are weakening. Chance discovers that his birth was no accident. His father is Lucifer, and the blood running through his veins gives him a claim to a power and a throne he never wanted. But another son of Hell wants that birthright for himself, unleashing demonic forces against Chance and threatening to turn Perdition into the doorway through which Hell consumes the Earth. As allies gather around him and enemies close in, Chance must confront the truth about his mother, his family, and the destiny that has followed him since birth. Even Lucifer, once the embodiment of everything Chance feared, may have his own reasons for preparing his son to rule. Caught between Heaven, Earth, and Hell, Chance faces an impossible choice and reject the darkness inside him or master it.Because sometimes the man destined to sit upon the throne of Hell is the only one powerful enough to keep its gates closed. Chance Hawthorne: Son of Perdition is a supernatural dark-fantasy thriller about bloodlines, faith, sacrifice, destiny, and one man's battle to prevent Hell from claiming the world.
