The Genesis of Seven (The Empyrean Trilogy, #1) By Sara M. Schaller YA Fantasy, Paranormal Hardcover, Paperback & ebook, 348 Pages July 7, 2020 by Designs by Seraphim
Eighteen-year-old Jordan Conway has always wanted to help people, but helping seven archangels to achieve their divine duty was never quite what he had in mind…
When Jordan is entrusted by the head nun of his orphanage to deliver a mysterious backpack to a New York City address, he comes unexpectedly face-to-face with Archangel Gabriel. Their acquaintance fast uncovers a labyrinth of secrets that connect Jordan’s once-normal life to an ancient heavenly prophecy. Now, he must help Gabriel to reunite the archangels before evil forces grow too strong.
Soon, Jordan and Gabriel find themselves on a divine quest across the globe, while deep in the pits of Hell, Satan plots his return to earth. To gain control, however, Satan needs the powerful prophetic objects locked safe inside Jordan’s backpack—and the devil will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
With that notion threatening his only family and the safety of his newfound friends, Jordan must do whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves and help the archangels succeed. If that means sacrificing all he thought he knew to go to war with the devil himself? Bring it on.

Excerpt:
With our
luggage situated, I followed Gabriel through the airport and out into the
parking garage, where I stopped suddenly.
“You have
a car here?”
“Yes,” he
replied, not breaking step. “I have a car in New York too. I don’t drive much
there though.” He finally stopped in front of a silver Lexus RX. Unlocking the
car, he began to load his chest and bag into the trunk.
I stared
in disbelief. “You can drive?”
He looked
at me in curiosity. “Yes.”
“A stick
shift?”
“Yes,” he
said, exasperated. Striding over, he took his other bag and my duffel and
loaded them into the trunk as well.
He
continued to amaze me, and it was in moments such as this I didn’t attempt to
ask for an explanation.
“Are you
getting in?” he asked from the driver’s seat.
I nodded,
unable to decide what to say. I made myself comfortable in the passenger seat,
located on the left side of the vehicle, and placed the backpack on the back
seat behind Gabriel. He went about inputting our destination into the GPS.
“Do you
have a phone too?” I wondered.
He raised
an eyebrow. “No. I hate technology. But I’m not foolish. I realize I must adapt
to changing times, so I know how to operate such things even if I don’t possess
them.”
