The 13th Apostle
In the heart of Rome, Father Joseph, a devoted priest with a tragic but inspiring past, unexpectedly uncovers an ancient scroll concealed deep within the Vatican. Shrouded in secrecy and fiercely protected, this document is believed to have been penned over two thousand years ago by a man considered by some to be a mysterious thirteenth apostle of Christ.

As Father Joseph deciphers the scroll's chilling prophecies, he becomes convinced that humanity is on the verge of its final reckoning. Driven by an unshakable sense of duty, he embarks on a desperate journey across the globe to save humanity's soul. Yet, he remains unaware that an even greater celestial battle is unfolding.
Glenn, an angel of the highest order, has descended to Earth to determine whether humanity has, of its own free will, extinguished the last traces of purity within its soul. If so, the end is inevitable. However, the underworld has its own plans. Falene, a cunning emissary of darkness, challenges Glenn to a fateful wager: he must find the last person on Earth with a heart untainted by sin and surrender them to her for the ultimate test. Only through this trial can the true nature of humanity be judged.

Glenn accepts. If he fails, every soul will be lost to the depths of hell. As the chosen one is stripped of everything and faces trials that could break even the bravest heroes, one question remains: can they rise against evil in its purest, most terrifying form to prove that goodness still endures?

The 13th Apostle is a captivating, thought-provoking thriller that compels readers to question: is humanity inherently good or irredeemably lost?

The first installment in an electrifying trilogy, The 13th Apostle sets the stage for an epic battle between light and darkness, faith and doubt, hope and despair.

About the Author

Raina C. Smith is the author of six novels, each a unique blend of genres that combines supernatural mystery, science fiction, and religious intrigue. From the dark allure of The Vampire series (The Vampire and The Vampire - A Covenant for Peace) to the expansive interstellar world portrayed in The Earth Consented, or the spine-chilling twists of The 13th Apostle trilogy (The 13th Apostle, Divine Providence, and Thy Kingdom Come), Smith’s works captivate readers by delving into the complexities of the soul and humankind’s struggle, offering a diverse, thrilling reading experience.

Inspired by her home state of Rhode Island’s rich history and fascination with the universal energy that connects all life, Smith creates dramatic storylines that explore the human condition, spirituality, the power of fate, and the mysteries of existence. Her novels are renowned for their tapestry of intense storylines, deep emotion, profound themes, brutal conflict, unbridled passion, and richly developed characters driven by their life’s purpose while navigating love, conflict, and destiny.

Smith infuses her writing with a reverence for the natural world while exploring humanity’s place within it. She challenges readers to reflect on the planet’s beauty, its creatures’ wisdom, and the answers they might hold to life’s most significant questions.

Smith believes that to understand who we are and why we’re truly here, we must all embrace the conscious intelligence of our environment, look into the eyes, and feel the hearts of sentient beings who already have the answer.
