About This Book
In the aftermath of a war that shook the heavens, God makes a choice that neither Raphael nor Michael can fully accept — and that choice sets two opposing forces on a collision course stretching across thousands of years. A Power Renewed opens in the divine and arrives, urgently, in present-day Atlanta, where an ordinary person is about to inherit an extraordinary and dangerous burden. Robert W. Ross builds a mythology rooted in familiar scripture but bent toward something far more personal — a story about what it costs to stand between order and chaos when the stakes are nothing less than creation itself.
What makes this book work as a reading experience is Ross's confidence in moving between the cosmic and the human without losing either. The structure earns its sweeping timeline, grounding millennia of conflict in characters who feel the weight of every century. The prose doesn't overreach — it stays lean and purposeful, letting the mythology do its work without drowning the story in exposition. For readers who want fantasy that takes its theological architecture seriously while keeping the tension immediate and character-driven, this opener delivers.
