War of the Lamb
War of the Lamb
Book Description
When the empire controls memory, remembering becomes resistance.
In War of the Lamb, Marty Gool delivers a prophetic dystopian novel about faith, erasure, empire, and the holy power of names.
Beneath a ruined city, Miriam and a small remnant survive in silence. The world above is ruled by the Concordat, a system that promises peace through compliance, safety through forgetting, and unity through the removal of everything that makes people human. Names are erased. Songs are forbidden. Memories are rewritten. Even sacred symbols are stripped of their power and remade into tools of control.
But in the darkness, something begins to return.
A child hums a forbidden melody. A candle relights itself. The names of the forgotten are spoken again. What begins as a quiet act of remembrance becomes a holy rebellion — not with weapons, but with bread, song, testimony, mercy, and the Lamb who refuses to be silenced.
As Miriam leads the faithful through hunger, betrayal, persecution, and impossible mercy, she discovers that the true war is not fought for land or power. It is fought over memory. Over worship. Over whether people will become numbers in a system or remain names held before God.
War of the Lamb is a haunting and deeply theological novel for readers who want fiction that wrestles with Revelation, empire, suffering, resistance, and the cost of faithfulness in a world determined to erase the truth.
This is a story of the remnant.
A story of names that will not die.
A story of the Lamb whose witness outlasts every empire.
