This book picks up directly where the book Templar's Creed took off. The Sagan men who are members of an organization called the Knights of the Templar delivered the remaining daughters of Eve to the edge of the Garden of Eden in the hopes that the Guardian of the East Gate would know how to stop the tragic natural events leading up to the end of the world. Since the guardian and the others like him were not allow to leave their post until Armageddon arrives they offered a solution to the knights. Collect the remaining seven seals, that are causing the natural catastrophes, in exchange for immortality.The three remaining daughters of Eve did not want to go into the Garden of Eden without the Sagan family so they decided to go with them to help find and authenticate the seals. It is a race against time since the members of the Fallen are slowly breaking the seals because they want more than anything for Armageddon to arrive and to war with the Guardians. The rest of the story centers around finding and obtaining the seals and the challenges that awaits them.One of the things that I like about the book was a new character that they introduced. The Daughters of Eve and the Templar knights receive help from an unexpected source. One of the Fallen himself called Khyamaeus. Khyamaeus has unique abilities and insight that provides help to the team when it was needed the most.  I like this because it gave a lot more of a realistic feeling in the books that these Sagan men and daughters of Eve could actually achieve the task of obtaining the seals.There were characters in these book that do die and each death was very predictable in one way or another. I think it would have been nice if the story lines of those that died had been a little more developed so that when their death occurred it would have been much more tragic.This series reminded me of a combination of the movies "Speed" due to the never ending action scenes and "Harry Potter Deathly Hallows" as it pertains to the group finding the seals. This book reminded me of when Harry and his friends have to find horocruxes. The storyline of the entire series however has its own original flavor that make it is so worth the read.
