An angel-Aziphrale and a demon-Crowley from heaven and hell become accustomed and comfortable with humans. Realizing that Apocalypse will arrive and an antichrist would trigger it, they find ways to locate the antichrist.
An 11-year-old boy who grows up in Lower Tadfield is the antichrist and doesn't know about his powers. Will the 11-year-old be able to initiate the Apocalypse?
How does he come to know about it? Will he stop it? The rest of the story continues.
