A miracle from hell.
Ninety-year-old Maggie Stone is dying of cancer, and she wants more time.
When a brilliant but unstable doctor offers Maggie a new body and a second chance at life, it sounds like a miracle of modern science-a transfer of consciousness, a perfected synthetic vessel, engineered immortality.
Maggie awakens young and strong. She'll have more time with Ray. More time with her children. But as Maggie discovers that a second chance at life might be more tragedy than miracle, something unexpected happens.
Another body wakes up.
Dr. Lane doesn't know why.
Maggie is called back into the lab, and the search for answers leads to a horrible discovery: her operation wasn't science at all. It was a ceremony. What was presented as breakthrough biotechnology reveals its true foundation: an occult ritual that awakens forces who feed on terror.
In Dr. Lane's lab, the veil between the physical and the spiritual becomes irrelevant as demons possess the bodies. As Maggie fights to survive, she must face a terrible question: since she cheated, does she deserve to live at all?
The Temple of Maggie Stone, the second book in the Annals of S.O.L.M., introduces a wider supernatural world. Maggie might be immortal, but immortality in this world might not be worth the trouble.
