In a bold attempt to seize control of the Roman Empire the Lord God Almighty launches a devastating series of military strikes on Jupiter, the Supreme God of Ancient Rome.
In Venus and the Crucified, the ancient Roman deities are thrust into an existential battle when a new, enigmatic god-claiming to be the Lord God Almighty-emerges with an unprecedented force. As the supreme deity of a monotheistic culture, His power has been magnified and focused, turning what was once a divine parliament into a solitary dictatorship. The Roman council of gods, with its shared power structure, must confront this new threat, where the stakes are not just the survival of their rule but the very nature of divine authority itself.
At the heart of this celestial conflict is Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, whose allure might be the key to challenging the singular, oppressive power of the new God. As she navigates this dangerous landscape, the lines between love, power, and worship blur, leading to a profound exploration of what it means to be a god in a world that can no longer tolerate divine plurality.
Caught between the ancient pantheon and the ascendant monotheistic force is Mary, a mortal whose encounter with the Lord God Almighty sets off a chain of events that could reshape the fate of both gods and men. Her story, intertwined with the divine struggle, reveals the fragile line between reverence and rebellion, and the high price of divine love.
Venus and the Crucified is a daring reimagining of mythology and scripture, exploring the tension between monotheism and polytheism. It challenges the reader to consider the nature of power, the dynamics of worship, and the consequences of a world where gods must vie for the devotion of mankind.
