Publisher's Synopsis
The struggle between good and evil began at the dawn of time and with the granting of free will. Dr. Eugene Barnes adds a new and exciting dimension to this classic theme in Chained in Darkness Anthology. It is a tale of fallen angels and their leader, who have been captured and imprisoned by the forces of Light. They seek to escape being chained in perpetual darkness by using earthly surrogates - such as the evil Charlotte Devereaux - to destroy the world. Against this background, Detective Wanda Price investigates a series of apparent suicides in her hometown in Illinois, USA. She suspects a spiritual link and seeks the advice of Reverend Kristofer Masters, the pastor at a local church. The trail leads them to confer with his mentor in New York, where similar unexplained deaths have occurred. There, a team of academics and theologians is assembled, but they must first cope with mystical experiences and be exposed to personal danger by dark forces. Relationships are forged through trust, and international associations are established. They pool their esoteric knowledge to unravel clues from sacred texts and ancient wisdom to prevent the impending apocalypse, which reaches its climax in the town of Bethel.
