    In a reality with echoes of a parallel universe, or in a future that could very well be our own, ten tales come together to give testimony of extraordinary circumstances regarding trial and triumph, heartache and joy, while detailing the ultimate plight of homo sapiens.Since its beginning, humanity has sought in earnest for the kingdom of heaven. Upon His arrival on earth, the Messiah confirmed that those willing to suffer in the here and now, enduring 'violence', would gain new life after weathering the wars brought against mankind thanks to a trifecta of temptation; the world, the passions... and the devil himself. Told with cinematic flare, and uniquely spanning multiple genres that take place over a millennium, the multi-story saga highlights the ageless practice of sacrificial love and self-denial (and, lack thereof), along with the fruits and consequences that follow.From the chicness of London's Southwark district to the exotic waters of the Balaeric Islands, the dusty outskirts of Los Angeles to the eccentricity of Greenwich Village, and the mighty history of Rome to the revered grounds of Jerusalem, globe-trotting adventures never lack as morality, philosophy, and existentialism make their case for the salvation of souls, while androids, angels, demons, priests, popes, slavers, saints, monsters, kings, queens, cops, and killers raise the stakes of a world at odds with its true identity. In tracing the predicament of more than one remarkable individual, the narrative paints a devastating picture of our inherent quest to achieve the spoils of heaven, or bring heaven crashing down.Filled with humor, suspense, action, and wonder, And the Violent Shall Take It lavishly presents humanity's struggle against the forces of this world and the supernatural, but also our own darkened selves on the path toward eternity.
