Crumbling Kingdom

By Matthew Liburdi

The year is 2052, and the world is recovering from another Holy War. John, the oversized fourteen-year-old biracial orphan, sets out to find the demons who harmed his parents. Enduring unprecedented hardships and driven by revenge, he reaches Los Angeles.

On the night of his revenge, a black cat thwarts his vengeance, and John finds himself serving time at the state boarding house. There he meets Simon, the Japanese self-proclaimed bad boy, and Emmanuel Jesus Gideon, the articulately gifted albino boy-two twelve-year-old misfits who become his best friends.

When Father Michael goes missing, the three ragtag teenagers-without parents to guide them or a single penny to their names-embark on a quest to find a set of Holy artifacts that Emmanuel believes are crucial not only to their futures but to the preservation of faith, family, and love.

Will revenge drive John, or will he embrace forgiveness? Is the mysterious bounty on their heads somehow connected to Father Michael? And what inspired Emmanuel to invite the determined, fourteen-year-old redhead to join their perilous quest?
