The Intercessors by xowordgirl at Inkitt

Summary

Thirty-two-year-old tech-skeptical Aria Peres has been spiraling ever since her God-fearing grandmother went missing over 20 years ago. But when Aria receives an anonymous online message, she believes she's discovered a technocratic shadow organization that hunts Christians. *** Aria Peres, a coder by trade, has trust issues. She doesn't trust people, herself, and most certainly not technological innovation. Her grandmother, Eleanor, was the only person who taught her about God, so when she went missing on Aria's 8th birthday, she knew God abandoned her. It took her decades to put that nefarious past behind her. She vowed to stop praying and to stop hoping for her grandmother's return, so when a cryptic chatroom message pops up claiming to have clues about what happened to Eleanor, Aria must decide if she'll keep the past buried or open Pandora's box. After discovering a covert network could be targeting a specific Bloodline using artificial intelligence, Aria grows increasingly paranoid and begins to question everything (and everyone) around her. As she journeys to find the truth, she encounters helpers with deep knowledge of Scripture-and spiritual wickedness in high places-who desire to guide her back to God before she descends into darkness. *** New updates weekly, God willing!

Intro + Character Profiles

Salam (Peace)! I’m so excited you have decided to read The Intercessors. There are so many novels in the world and online so I’m so grateful you’re here.

The Intercessors is a Christian novel unlike anything out there. It’s also a psychological thriller, conspiracy, technocratic, suspense, mystery, and maybe, just maybe a very slow burn romance. 😄

These are subject matters (besides the romance) I rarely see discussed or written about in the Christian space and they are also my absolute favorite genres to read and watch so after much prayer I got the go ahead from our Father and started plotting the story out.

Although the plot may seem incredible (or impossible), I think you’ll find that you’ll resonate and identify with at least one of the characters. Hey, you may even find you’ll empathize with one of the villains 🫣 As I’ve been writing this novel, I have grown to love these characters as if they are real people! It’s fascinating how that happens.

I hope to engage with you, Reader, in the comments section at the end of each chapter to hear more about which characters you love and which parts of the story you like (or even dislike). Please feel free to share your thoughts. I am a meticulously slow writer, so although I’d like to post a new chapter a week, I have to be realistic with myself. I will try, but please be patient with me (Galatians 5:22-23) and stick around ’til the end!

Thank you so much. And enjoy! 💕
