SYNOPSIS:
WOULD YOU SACRIFICE AN ENTIRE CITY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE?
A massive explosion rips through the outdoor seating area of a popular
restaurant in downtown Trondheim. Two days later, fourteen people are found
dead in a church along a remote section of coastline. The souls of the
victims have been ripped from their bodies. Moments later a spirit from the
Otherworlds steps through the Black Void to find the ancient relic that
killed them.
On a secluded island in the Arctic Circle, a troubled man sees a world that
has lost its way and feels compelled to change that. He plans to wield the
formidable power of a mysterious artifact to reshape the moral fabric of
eight billion unsuspecting souls—knowing that his actions will wipe
out the inhabitants of an entire city.
David Skye and Jade “Epiphany” Hendrix set out to stop him and
save the lives that would be lost if he were to succeed. Their efforts to do
that are complicated by Kari Salversen, a dedicated police detective with
the Norwegian Police Service. She believes David and Epiphany are involved
in a recent string of deadly attacks and is determined to apprehend
them.
A reckoning of souls is quickly approaching, as the battle for humanity
unfolds in the snowy, arctic fjords of Norway, and the vast spirit realms of
the Otherworlds. The possibility of a peaceful future for billions of souls
and the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people are both at stake. In
a clash that pits two opposing sides against each other, which one is on the
more righteous path?

ENJOY AN EXCERPT:
Beyond thick veils of falling snow, a
darkness awaited. There was no avoiding it, no turning back. David Skye had an
uneasy feeling about what he’d find, yet he pushed forward anyway. Visibility
worsened with each pass of the wiper blades as they swished from side to side,
leaving smears of frozen snow across the windshield. He wrapped his fingers
tightly around the steering wheel, doing his best to keep the vehicle from
veering off the slick, snow-covered road. David desperately wanted to press down
harder on the accelerator, but he thought better of it as he fought to guide
the Toyota 4Runner
along the deserted stretch of highway that
hugged the northern coastline of Tjeldøya Island.
“There
it is, up ahead, on the right,” Epiphany said.
The
sound of her voice momentarily broke David’s concentration. The silhouette of
the old church, its spire reaching into the cold, cloudy sky, stood out against
the backdrop of the waterway and the mountains. A heavy, gray fog rolled in off
the water. David slowed the vehicle and slid to a stop in the church parking
area just off the main road, where he saw six or seven parked cars. The vehicle
had barely stopped when Epiphany flung open the passenger door. She leapt out
of the 4Runner, swung the door shut, and sprinted down the path leading to the
church. David watched her disappear into the snow and mist, vanishing like a
specter leaving this world for the next. A transient thought darted through his
mind. He had barely been with Epiphany for more than a few days, and given
their circumstances, he hoped they’d somehow manage to stay alive for a few
more.
