Publisher's Synopsis
"I'm just worried you'd end up in some place like this," he said, voice flat, opening his palms. "Talk of nightclubs, talk of violent deliverance, you're absorbing it, becoming something else."Peter's past continues to shape his future as The Temple opens, taking The Church to new places. As power and institutions protest, The Lurk begins to accept Peter as The Church evolves into something new, containing everything but God.With acceptance comes a surrogate family and schizophrenic routine as his distinct personalities find their roles, a life of duty interspersed with microdosing, Nazi's and sextacy as new friendships and rituals are formed. As positivity expands, so does violence, death and chaos, for cause and effect work differently here, positive action leads to negative consequence as internal and external forces weigh heavy on The Temple and The Lurk.As Peter takes The Temple to its final evolution, The Lurk can no longer ignore the weight of the state and institutions that are pulling the country apart. For Peter, the attacks are personal, he's been inquisitive, looking into places he shouldn't, setting him on a collision course with invisible and all too visible foes.
