THE PROTAGONIST WHO DEFINES THE WORD ORDINARY,
becomes embroiled in an old and grave story not of his
wanting. With the likeness of the common man, his
desire for love and acclaim may have misled him a step too far.
As unimaginable dark forces escape, as authorities question his
innocence and his beautiful but begrudging companion in his
face, his odds of surviving are slim if not zero. To conquer one if
not all will take more than just prayers. To do that, he may have to
become the man he's never been: and face the unthinkable.
A catastrophic confrontation is in the cards.
The last word left Mitchell's pen on Halloween, a fitting
day for his epic fantasy inspired by an ancient but barely
remembered upstate NY superstition. A Canadian of English
origin, Mitchell followed in his father's footfalls and put to
paper his roaming imagination. Drawing inspiration from the
archaic ruins and legends that were his playground as a youth,
but mindful of the laws of science, he crafted his story not to
trespass into the impossible, but to blur the line of reality and
myth.
