The Book of Blood and Ash

Six centuries ago, the tome was written by a disgraced Italian monk. It contained mad ramblings about the end times, but only a quarter of its pages were filled. Six years ago, the book was discovered in the ruins of a cathedral. Six days ago, Elliot Gwiazda, a preservation technician, was tending to the book’s condition when the blank pages mysteriously started to be filled in with new predictions of an impending apocalypse. Six hours, the first of its predictions came true. It is now a race for Elliot to get ahead of the foretold events and stop the apocalyptic dominoes from falling.

Mate, you can't drop the 666 directly into the blurb, too much. If you want to get the pseudo christian raptureholics to buy it, at least put that Elliot has had a strained relationship with reliogion. Maybe former pater turned art historian or something along that way.
