What if you could actually see angels and fallen angels engaging in battle-and you were expected to join the fight? 

It's been one year since Jonah Stone and his sister, Eliza, discovered that their mother is a nephilim, the product of a union between a human and a fallen angel, which makes them and their little brother, Jeremiah, "quarterlings," or one-quarter angel. After embarking on an epic journey to rescue their mother and the other nephilim, who were kidnapped by fallen angels, the Stone kids have enjoyed a little peace and quiet. 

But when Jonah and Eliza are attacked by fallen angels at school, they learn that quarterlings all over the world are being targeted, and separating them from their parents is the only way to keep them safe. The kids undergo special training to help them discover their own unique angelic gifts, which come in handy when they embark on a mission to find a mysterious prophet who they believe holds the key to Abaddon's defeat in a massive battle between good and evil. 

Parents today are looking for fiction that makes Christianity and the Bible exciting for their kids. This series is the first Christian answer to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Kane Chronicles, the Secret Series, and other middle grade series packed with adventure, action, and supernatural fights. But the message is solidly scriptural in that God alone is always in control. 

"Jerel Law has crafted a fantastic story that will leave every reader wanting more. Stop looking for the next great read in fantasy fiction for young readers-you've found it " -Robert Liparulo, bestselling author of Dreamhouse Kings and "The 13th Tribe"





Fire Prophet is the second book in the middle grade Christian fantasy Son of Angels series. It picks up where the first book left off, after main characters Jonah and Eliza Stone discovered they were part angel and had to rescue their mom from fallen angels. In this book, Jonah and Eliza are attacked by fallen angels at their school, only to discover that quarterlings from all over the world are being attacked and targeted. In order to find out what's really happening and how to stop it, the Stone siblings must go on a journey to find a prophet who is supposed to hold the key to stopping Abaddon and the battle he threatens to wage on earth.

This is an interesting and exciting continuation to the series. It's full of action, adventure, mystery, and lots of fantasy. It's Christian fiction, so the plot revolves heavily on Christian ideas and themes - like God, prayer, scripture, and faith. The story is fun and fast paced without being too confusing for younger readers. The writing was well done and flowed at a good rate. I enjoyed the detail and description that the author put into the characters and the plot - it added a great new layer to the series. The characters were all pretty well rounded and easy to identify with, especially Jonah and Eliza. They have their flaws and weaknesses, which makes them more realistic. Overall, this is a great MG Christian fantasy series that kids of all ages will enjoy all while receiving a positive message.
