Book Description

In a forgotten abbey in the American West, a great evil has remained trapped, hidden from human eyes for hundreds of years...until now. A team of Vatican researchers have discovered the Domas Porada, a sarcophagus that holds the spirit of the fallen angel Temozarela. With the help of frontier priest Ivan Isaacs, they have opened it. Big mistake. Freed from centuries of captivity, Temozarela can at long last begin his desecration of God’s Earth, but in his weakened state he needs the help of his unholy apostles. In order to fight back, the dying Ivan must make a pact with the devil Belial for a second chance at life. Ivan only wanted proof of God’s existence—what he got instead was eternal damnation.

Book Description

Ivan Isaacs, a former priest who now walks outside of God’s grace, walks a bloody path of revenge. When he was alive, he inadvertently freed the traitorous archangel Temozarela from imprisonment. Temozarela is still weak, but his 12 disciples are preparing sanctuary for their lord that will usher in an era of blood and terror. Now Ivan walks the thin line between hope and damnation, seeking out each of the disciples and eventually Temozarela himself. Ivan has already defeated the first minion, but that was like Sunday school compared to his next foe. A former angel driven mad by centuries of exile from providence, Achmode has been creating a twisted mockery of heaven in his domain. Flanked by angels of his own design, Achmode is a fearsome foe indeed...

Book Description

Before Ivan Isaacs became the undead pilgrim who battles Temozarela's forces, he was just a mortal man with the usual human failings. Orphaned at an early age, Ivan was adopted by Jacob Isaacs, a wealthy frontiersman who wanted his only daughter, Jenna, to have a companion. In the solitude of the Isaacs' homestead, the two siblings developed stronger feelings than their father or society would allow. To escape from his desire, Ivan entered seminary, where he found a new interest: the study of ancient religions. Nine years later, Father Ivan Isaacs is still haunted by memories of his true love. But a new figure has begun appearing in his dreams—a Knight Templar, a holy defender of the crusades. Now Ivan stands at a crossroads. One path leads to ancient demons, the other to a forbidden love.
