About this audiobook

Modern science goes to war with the supernatural when a researcher attempts to rescue a woman from the grip of a powerful cult. The tension between rational logic and the terrifying influence of the "dark" creates a pulse-pounding conflict. As the boundaries of the mind are pushed, the protagonist must confront forces that defy explanation. It is a sophisticated thriller that explores the shadows lurking in the corners of human belief.
