Miriam, a woman bound to the land stolen from her family during apartheid, and Caroline, the estranged daughter of a dying farm owner, are forced to confront their shared legacy when a mysterious key and a long-hidden family secret resurface. As dark forces awaken and supernatural beings converge, they must protect the children while unlocking the forgotten history that could tip the balance between salvation and annihilation. Their destinies are intertwined, but will they be strong enough to embrace the truth-and each other-before the world falls apart?

At the Fields of Fire and Blood
The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.Complete

Forsaken Fallen
"Walk on by my side, if death's your saving grace." This is a cruel story of humanity. An unforgiving, unforetold twist on the laws they call the norm. To those individuals and their handful of burden from a bygone past, it is their greatest wish for their torture to come to a close. Are they sinners? Or are they misguided, fallen angels? Is the kind of pain that makes them want to rip their eyes out... to turn their very beings into dust worth the journey in the big picture? In the reunion between two sides of the same coin does the curtain rise on this story. To one, a slave shackled by the truth of the world, to the other, a world that shall bow to one truth. It is in the deepest of despairs that sometimes the hopeful spirit is born--Thus I watch over with great interest. - P.
The Battle of Our Minds: Flesh and Blood
One of the most common wonders of the human existence is, "Why do good people do bad things?" The answer: an epic battle in the heavenly realms rages on between the Light and the Darkness with each passing minute. A battle that humans - well, most humans - can't see. The Darkness works to influence our souls, creating selfishness, resentment, anger, and hatred. The Light works to expose the Darkness for what it really is: an influence straight from Hell. These two opposing forces each have their own means of waging warfare. Nephilim, creatures of the Light, have been given the mission to fight against the demons of Darkness that bid humanity to do their will. Unfortunately, not all Nephilim want to accept this mission, favoring a mission entirely of their own. A secret society of Nephilim - human descendants of angels - operates at New City University. This secret society, the Five Minds, is made up of organized cohorts establishing each of their roles - the historians, the delegators, the advocates, the healers, and the perceivers - based on their angelic abilities. Together, these Nephilim serve the Light by fighting the demons of Darkness, otherwise known as fallen angels, by intervening when the demons coerce or possess humans into doing their will. While their operation has been straightforward for the past century, something is stirring in their quaint college town. Unprecedented violence is threatening everything they've worked for. As an uprising grows from within the security of their network, the Five Minds begins to discover that the demons' reach not only extends to humans, but to Nephilim as well.Complete
