In a world overrun by demons, the few humans that remain alive face an impossible fight. In the midst of this battle, Father Helder Pont, a young priest finds his way to safety in a church on the East Coast of the United States with two other men of the cloth, Markus Rossi and Gideon McElroy. Although their situation is desperate, Helder has a plan. He has a medallion with half of an ancient prayer that will eliminate the demonic threat. The other half, unfortunately, is in Rome. Somehow they must make their way across the world to the Vatican. As the men prepare to leave, they encounter a young woman fleeing the demons--and to Helder, at least, she is no stranger. Sita Taylor is the love of his youth, lost when his father sent him to seminary. And now she joins them on their quest to reach Rome--a love that both strengthens him and pulls him in many directions. Along the way, the group faces danger from both pirates and demon hordes. Only time will tell whether they'll reach the Vatican alive--or whether the answers they seek will be there if they do.

Haunting and Spiritual Stories
Author: Kenneth G. Gary
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1491793872
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
This book is a collection of short stories. They stand by themselves, individually, and seek to enable a scintillating excursion beyond the common four walls of life. I wish to seduce the imagination with a subtle convergence of storytelling, quietly seeping into questions of considerable moment. Some of the stories are just plain scary. Kenneth G. Gary, Author Wow! This was one of the most complex ghost stories Ive ever read. Nothing suddenly jumping out, and yelling, BOO!. Instead a tale that works on the mind, much like the movie Chinatown. Clues are introduced, taken away, then reintroduced for a conclusion that is more mental than paranormal, showing the horrors that can be found in the human mind. And like Chinatown, this story will need to be read two or three times to gather all the nuances. A true masterpiece of haunting. Not scaryterrifying. Lester K. Kloss Jr., television producer. From the blog onwww.themoonlitroad.com. Haunting and Spiritual Stories is a masterpiece, a stellar collection of superb storytelling and an instant classic. Kenneth Gary and his sister Hedy Gray, do Edgar Allen Poe and Rod Serling very, very proud. Their phenomenal stories will transfix and transport you to heights and depths of emotion and imagination never before experienced. Extraordinarily, exquisitely and eloquently crafted, Haunting Spiritual Stories is a veritable, vivid artistic feast of and for the mind, body, spirit and soul. Quite simply I have not been able to put down Haunting and Spiritual Stories and neither will you! Gary Hines, music director/producer, Grammy award-winning Sounds of Blackness Where Once upon a Time is far more than just a story! Bill Berry Jr., publisher /CEO aaduna Inc.
