Book Description
Demons are humans. They are the forgotten. The war has raged for centuries, and the story has remained unchanged. The Devil sends his army to eradicate humanity and claim the kingdom he once swore to protect. However, Candelux--the priest guild--stands in his way, forcing him to cower in hiding. That cycle is about to be broken. The humans bask in serenity as evidence of the demon threat seems to wane, but terror looms on the horizon. A demon lord rises to lead the Devil's cursed soldiers to victory, and in his wake, there is only death and destruction. The Twisted Gate is the first book in a four-book series.

Former car thief Ray Lilly is now the expendable grunt of a sorcerer responsible for destroying extradimensional predators summoned to our world by power-hungry magicians. Luckily, Ray has some magic of his own, and so far it’s kept him alive. But when a friend from his former gang calls him back to his old stomping grounds in Los Angeles, Ray may have to face a threat even he can’t handle.

Worse yet, the spell was cast by Wally King, the sorcerer who first dragged Ray into the brutal world of the Twenty Palace Society. Now Ray will have to choose between the ties of the past and the responsibilities of the present, as he and the Society face not only Wally King but a bizarre new predator.
