Defending souls is my purpose . . . but can I save my own? My toes curl over the edge of an abyss, my lifeline of hope fraying into a thin line. If it snaps, I’ll plunge into complete darkness. Thankfully, I have my son and my writing. Because of them and the support of my mother, I’ve been able to hold on. Until now.

When the Amadis council forces me to choose between hanging on to hope or letting go to serve my purpose, I face a decision with inconceivable sacrifices. So what do I do? I run. I need to get away from it all. I need to think. I need to get my freaking life together. I go to the one place I think will provide answers, only to find myself at the center of another battle of good versus evil, not only with the Daemoni, but within myself. And also against the worst opponent imaginable. But even if I win—even if I survive—what will I lose? * * * * * This is the newest edition of the second book in the paranormal fantasy series where you'll meet vampires, werewolves, witches, warlocks, and more.

Demons, the Devil, and Fallen Angels
Author: Marie D. Jones
Publisher: Visible Ink Press
ISBN: 157859667X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 663
Book Description
Illuminating the Dark Side’s Spirits, Fiends, Devils, and Demons. Throughout human history, we have been obsessed with the dark opposites of God and angels, light, and mercy. Whether it is our religious and sacred texts, folklore and myths of old, legends, fairy tales, novels, or the movies and television shows of today, the dark entities enthrall us, terrify us, and remind us of the dualities of life. But where did they originate? Are they real? Does every religion or region of the world include them? Exploring over two dozen religious traditions, myths, folkloric and spiritual traditions, the world of the supernatural, and the demons, the Devil, and fallen angels in today’s pop culture, Demons, the Devil, and Fallen Angels is a comprehensive resource of the many faces of the devil, his minions, ominous deities, and the darker side of nature and ourselves. From ancient demon worship to modern Satanism, the bloody era of the Inquisitions and later witch burnings to the Satanic Panic of the late-twentieth century, and secret occult societies to Hitler's involvement with demonology, this book covers it all! You'll learn about the key figures in history associated with demons and the Devil, the worshiping of the dark forces, and the lives of Aleister Crowle, John Dee, and Anton LaVey, as well as well-known figures who were alleged Satanists, some of whom may surprise you! Also featured are dozens of examples of links between demons/fallen angels and aliens, cryptids, apparitions and poltergeists, and IDEs (interdimensional entities). Were the demons of the Bible possibly ancient alien visitors? Are alien abductions and poltergeists really demons in disguise? Is Slender Man a modern day demonic entity ... or totally fake? This fascinating look at Satan, evil spirits, and their 10,000-year history has 120 photographs, drawings, and illustrations to bring the portraits of over 200 demons and fallen angels to shivering life. Demons, the Devil, and Fallen Angels also includes a helpful bibliography and an extensive index, adding to its usefulness. It is a comprehensive, clear, and objective look at a subject that fills most people with fear and dread. Yet the presence of dark angels continues to remain a part of our human experience, our popular culture, and our spiritual understandings. Come and explore the shadowy side of existence and its integral part of our nature.
