War is coming between Lukas’ Goddess and an ancient Demon Lord. But the death of his parents shakes his faith, and with the loss of his remaining family it is shattered. Blinded by rage, Lukas turns away from his friends and trains under a deceptive, yet formidable master to hone his magic and prevent the demon’s final objective--obliteration of all life on earth.
War begins! A forged weapon, Lukas rejoins his friends and sets after the Demon King. From a hidden crypt, where evil lies waiting, to the Iowa countryside, they battle to prevent the end of all they know. Lukas must overcome his doubts and allow the Light to work through him--to defeat both the foe of his Goddess and a new more familiar one.
Soul Dark: Chosen is a coming of age tale in the modern-day world when a war between ancient deities and demons culminates in a winner-takes-all battle that could determine the fate of all mankind.

SUNSET
Though he could not say why, the old man recognized it as his last awakening. His every arthritic limb and digit ached to the bone. His wrinkled skin hung over loose worn muscles too weary to move. His every haggard breath came with fire but also brought the scents of summer air—he was outside, of all places—rain was coming. The blessed rain—he had not felt a welcoming drop touch his face since that fateful moment he had fallen prey to the Other—so long ago.
The stars shone beyond a super moon in a black velvet sky he had not seen in four centuries. He settled to his popping knees and ran his hands through tall grass. Darkness settled over him, and for the first time in ages, instead of fear it brought instead an overwhelming sense of peace.
She appeared before him, a familiar woman from his youth, a great lady made of light and grace. Her compassionate eyes shone silver as she wiped an errant tear from his cheek that matched one on hers and said, “My dearest Theo,” she said. “My dear, dear friend… Taketh mine hand into thine own. Thou art free at last!”
And the old man, who was in truth a young boy of thirteen summers, felt at last the final rest he had been denied since when as a youth, he had been Chosen by the Ancient Enemy, known also as the First Fallen, the Great Deceiver, the Prince of Darkness.
