Publisher's Synopsis
"For unto us a child is born; unto us a son is given." (Is 9:6) "The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws." (Dan 4:33) Birmingham, Alabama, circa 20XX It was a time that had seen a sharp decline in a basic respect for the Word of God, and His people more fearful than ever that Christ's return was close at hand. It was also a time that had seen lycanthropy, once deemed a curse by the religious majority, become reduced to the ranks of treatable illness akin to AIDS and syphillis. Research had determined that, like these, the 'Curse of Nebuchadnezzar' was transmittable sexually. Enter Nicodaemus 'Nico' Brynson - minister, business owner, friend to many. Like most people, he was well aware that he had a calling on his life to do great things on behalf of the Kingdom of God. Like most people, the path to his destiny in God seemed paved with several Ungodly choices. One night of passion with a longtime friend changed the course of his life forever, opening him up to a level of love he could never have believed he deserved. Unlike most people, his destiny put him directly in Satan's warpath, because the same night he opened up to love, he exposed himself to power, courtesy of the same Curse that had known lycanthropes to be given a less flattering nickname: the Afflicted. Does he have the faith to withstand the coming onslaught of Enemy denizens? Can the love he just found keep him grounded, or will it draw him away from the God he has served all his life? Will the Curse of Nebuchadnezzar push him to be the salvation or damnation of all mankind? **WARNING - GRAPHIC CONTENT**
