Centuries ago, Emperor Constantine prepared a decree describing the duties and laws of a highly secretive organization known as the "First Order." Now, in the twenty-first century, the seven members of the order are convinced the Antichrist has returned. Their mission is to find him-and stop him from destroying the Church.
The sacred manuscript has been kept at Clayton Hall in England for centuries but has recently disappeared. Lord Ashton, a member of the First Order, uses the manuscript as bait to flush out the Illuminati. But he loses the manuscript-and his life-to the enemy.
His two daughters, Lady Ashley and Amelia, are polar opposites. Amelia lives in Paris and is in a relationship with Dimitri, a Russian mafia billionaire whose connection to the Golden Crescent introduces him to the Antichrist. Lady Ashley follows in her father's footsteps and seeks to recover the stolen manuscript. The head of the order-in an attempt to use Amelia's connection to Dimitri to learn the identity of the Antichrist-develops a relationship with her. His plan ultimately fails when a traitor carries out a suicide mission for the enemy, wiping out most of the order.
Who will be left to continue the fight against the Antichrist?
