The Alpha and the Omega - The Beginning of the End, #2

Angels and Demons meets The Mandalorian - a group of loyal supporters protect a divine child from a sect of religious zealots. Jerusalem, 12th Century AD. An ancient scroll is discovered by the Knights Templar, prophesying the birth of a female Messiah at the start of the following millennium. This has ominous implications for the church and those with a vested interest, who create a secret, hidden Order to thwart this future threat. Rome, present day.
The Messiah, Salvatrice, is four years old, and the Order is hell-bent on her capture. With the world's faithful duped into believing the Antichrist resides within the Italian capital, The Eternal City has become an extremely perilous place in which to hide the child. As the girls of Rome have their lives upturned, and billions look on in fear, can a band of loyal supporters keep mankind's true salvation safe? A tense, twisting story spanning cities and centuries, The Alpha and the Omega is the second installment in the upmarket thriller trilogy that began with the acclaimed novel The Priest of Santa Maria.
