About the Story

Going unnoticed isn’t easy when you’re being hunted by an ancient enemy.

When Jacob was found outside of a burning home at the age of five, he had no memory of who he was. The only thing in his possession was a lion pendant with the name “Jacob” carved on the back. For the past several years, he has been searching for answers, all the while navigating the challenges of being a teenager. Then there are the dreams…strange visions of a house on fire that have recently taken on physical properties, further influencing Jacob’s emotions.

If that was not enough, Jacob’s daily routine gets interrupted by the presence of a ghastly man who turns a perfectly fresh piece of fruit into a rotten remnant with only a touch. That is the moment Jacob’s life is thrown into a vortex of self-discovery, heartache, fear, and wonder as he is tossed directly into the middle of an ancient battle between good and evil.

Can he survive, and will he finally find answers to the questions he’s been asking for so long?
