"La Casa Bruja" is the first book in an exciting series that chronicles the adventures of this most unusual boy and his alien protector. As a young boy growing up in Arizona, Ascension has the same worries as any other twelve year old: living up to his father's expectations, hating his weird name, and getting along with family he's never met before. What he doesn't know, though, is that HE IS DESTINED TO GROW UP TO BE THE ANTICHRIST. He has no idea that he is actually the son of Satan; instead, he believes that his purpose on this earth is to fight evil. In fact, he soon discovers that HE COMES FROM A LONG LINE OF WITCH HUNTERS. In an unexpected trip to old world Mexico, he saves and befriends an entity-who turns out to be an extraterrestrial being who had been close to death. The alien later discovers the boy's true destiny and realizes then that a terrible burden has been placed upon his shoulders. He's peaceful at heart and doesn't want to hurt anyone-but SAVING THE WORLD MEANS DESTROYING THE BOY, AND PROTECTING THE BOY MAY MEAN DESTROYING THE WORLD.
