Publisher's Synopsis
When Hal Crompton comes back from the war burned, broken and battered, he think's he's through being a hero. All he wants to do is hide himself away and heal his wounds--body and soul. However, on his return to the neighborhood where he grew up, he finds that his childhood friend Alistair has been tampering with occult forces in hopes of waking an ancient, evil goddess, and it will take a hero to stop him.
