The prequel to the critically acclaimed Antebellum tells the powerful story of what happens when a man in modern society is possessed with the spirits of dead slaves. Nathan Freeman and Xavier Turner are two African American men leading two very different lives. One is a failed academic with a family in turmoil, while the other is an ex-special forces soldier turned family man. They have never met, but they share a bloodline that traces back to African royalty. This bloodline also makes them susceptible to a condition called The Seven Days, allowing them to be possessed by the spirits of their ancestors who died in a rage—and the spirits do just that. Through a series of unfortunate events, both men manage to lose everything, creating the circumstances needed for the Seven Days to take effect. One of them is strong enough to fight the possession, while the other falls victim to it, and the chaos that ensues threatens to engulf them both.

During the Seven Days Campaign--the series of battles fought near Richmond at the end of June 1862--General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia routed General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac. Although the Confederates repulsed the powerful offensive of the Yankees, they failed to win a complete and decisive victory. The campaign had far-reaching consequences for both sides: depriving McClellan of a military decision meant the war would continue for two more years, and the chance for Southern victory would never come again. The Seven Days memorably depicts a turning point in the war and in American history.

The first chapter of Genesis is commonly understood to be the story of creation. Yet Moses described it as “the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens” (Genesis 2:4, emphasis mine). Have you ever wondered why the earth was “without form and void”? Or what the darkness upon the face of the deep was? Your faith will grow as you learn what the Bible says God was doing during the seven days of Genesis. Whether you are new to the Christian faith or a mature believer in Jesus, this book will provide a deeper revelation of the power of God to save all men from sin. You will learn how God planned for man’s salvation before He created the heaven and the earth, and that hidden within the seven days of Genesis God made a way for salvation.
