Sinners & Saints

A Heroes and Demons Novel

When heroes are sinners, and demons are saints, what is there left to save?

The Horsemen have fallen.
But the end has only just begun.

As Armageddon unfolds, the world unites beneath a terrifying promise of peace. Daniel Palmer, the First Dominion, enforces obedience through the iron grip of the DSA, while Adam – resurrected, radiant, and dressed in white – preaches salvation through the United World Church.

Together, they prepare humanity for the arrival of a prophesied saviour… or its final annihilation.

Far from the spotlight, Rick and Avelin remain hunted fugitives, ghosts at the edge of a reshaped world. Avelin fights to ignite resistance against Palmer’s growing dominion. Rick fights something far more dangerous – his own past. The blood on his hands. The lies he tells the world. The prophecy he alone bears.

When a catastrophic act of destruction drags them into global view, escape becomes impossible. The answers they need lie not ahead, but behind – at the beginning of everything. Genesis.

Because redemption demands confession.
Faith demands sacrifice.
And some wars can only be won by the willing dead.

Sinners & Saints is the penultimate chapter of the Heroes & Demons series – an unflinching urban fantasy thriller of control, prophecy, and identity, where the world’s last hope may depend on the redemption of its greatest sinner.

The Soundtrack

The soundtrack for Sinners & Saints is rawer and more confrontational than what has come before, beginning in the place where belief fractures and resolve hardens. The songs are fire – carrying protest, reckoning, and walking the uneasy line between damnation and grace. Anger exists here, defiance; but marbled within is sorrow and stubborn hope.

Rock, folk, and hymn-like refrains collide; prayers shouted into the dark with answers only arriving after the damage is done. This is music for those who walk with their sins, their loyalties and their scars for all to see in equal measure.

It’s the sound of standing your ground when redemption isn’t guaranteed.

A Short Excerpt

The final sigh was like the last handful of dirt thrown into an open grave. He slunk back against the cold rock throne behind him, and as Rick watched on, the being that had survived eternities slowly faded – his body transitioning from half-solid flesh into the ether of the air around him. He witnessed a simple, profound death of a Dominion. Bearing witness to a death was the only meaning he could give it, so he watched and waited with him until the end.

Alone once more, in the empty Temple of Air, devoid now of any use or story beyond that which had been relayed to him, Rick found himself shaking. It would be a private moment of doubt, as he allowed the fear of what was coming to overtake him. When he walked out of the cave, he would regain his confidence. He would return to the UK, to the battle and the fray with renewed vigour. His façade would be constructed once more to carefully cover up the scared boy he felt he was inside. The one still in that dark cupboard under the stairs, bearing the wounds of his father’s latest punishment. He would be Dr Rick Carter, the hero of the Battle of York. The public face of the war against the New Order and the Horsemen of the Apocalypse – whether his friends were ready to return and help him or not.

But in those private moments, he allowed himself to feel it. Outside of the cave, he alone would hold the words of prophecy glistening with fresh blood.

Your death will end it all.

Behind the Story

After the darkness, how do you come back from it? How does your life look, when no longer immediately thrust into the trauma of the present? Like cooling lava, solidifying into shape after such immense heat and pressure. That’s what I was feeling when Sinners & Saints shaped itself into it’s specific form. The beats were there, but the soul? That spoke to me instead.

It told me that redemption is messy – and that which on the surface seems right can sometimes be wrong. It whispered that being human means lonely imperfection, made brighter only through the connections and the bonds we make with others. It once more pushed upon me the duality at the core of all the Heroes & Demons novels, the stumbling broken nature of trying to be better than we were.

It also felt like the final breath before the end. The sun is breaking across the horizon, while we, like our characters, remain down in the darkness of the valley, clambering to reach it first. And, defiant, we fear no evil.
