The Last Trumpet

**A Woven Promise — Book One: The Last Trumpet** *Every thread leads to the cross. But the path you walk is your choice.* Elijah Mercer hasn't believed in years. A former Army chaplain haunted by a lie he told a dying soldier in Kandahar, he's been going through the motions in a small Iowa church — preaching sermons he doesn't feel, leading a congregation he's not sure he can shepherd, and ignoring a whisper he can't quite hear. Then the world begins to change. A charismatic global leader named Damien Varek rises to power with impossible speed, brokering peace where none seemed possible, promising unity in a fractured age. The nations celebrate. But something ancient and malevolent moves behind Varek's flawless smile, and Elijah may be one of the few people alive who can see it. When a vision he can't explain forces him to speak from the pulpit with a conviction he thought he'd lost forever, Elijah's life detonates. Overnight he becomes a viral sensation, a target of government surveillance, and the reluctant voice of a resistance he never asked to lead. Alongside Sarah Chen — an investigative journalist whose ironclad skepticism is crumbling under evidence she can't deny — and Marcus Webb — a battle-hardened Marine whose loyalty is as fierce as his firepower — Elijah is pulled into a conflict that Scripture foretold and no one alive is prepared for. But this isn't a story you just read. It's a story you shape. THE LAST TRUMPET is a choose-your-own-path novel. At key turning points, you decide what happens next. Do you follow Elijah into the darkness to rescue someone he loves, or do you stay with the flock that depends on him? Do you go public with the truth and risk everything, or do you work from the shadows? The choices are yours. The consequences are real. And not every path ends the same way. From the quiet pews of Cedar Falls to a ritual chamber beneath a corporate tower, from a concrete prison cell to the blood-soaked plains of Megiddo — this is a story about what happens when an ordinary man discovers that the end of the world is not a metaphor, and that he has a role to play in it.
