The Last True Demon
A man with stolen immortality seeks God in Eden to save humanity.
The protagonist possesses a stolen miracle of immortality but lacks protection from death. He witnesses an Antichrist remove this power, leading to his transition into a state beyond life. In the Garden of Eden, he joins the Friar, Hammond, and Venet. Their goal is to convince God to save humanity. The obstacle is divine disbelief in their existence. Brookes uses these elements to explore themes of faith and consequence.
The book sits within the genre of supernatural fiction and gothic horror. It references biblical figures like Lazarus and religious concepts such as the Antichrist and God. The setting includes the ruins of the Garden of Eden, blending ancient myth with modern narrative structures typical of independent publishing in the mid-2010s.
