Prophet and the Creature from Eternity — Marshall S. Thomas

In the wake of an apocalyptic alien attack on Quaba, the young prophets of ConFree struggle to rebuild their shattered nation. Facing an endless war with Dark Haven, Prophet and his comrade Arie must counter a pitiless shape shifter from the edge of the galaxy with a mission to destroy humanity. Fear no evil, Bees says, for you are already in the land of death - and you are the light in the dark.
