The world is in chaos. Fires, storms and an eternal dark sky fight to hold the people hostage as an unprecedented flow of bodies keep the morgues at their breaking point. Some are of fallen immortals who once sought renewed eternal life. A.L. Mengel crafts a hypnotic story which inhabits the land of demons and angels; telling of heartache, loss, hope and love. Lush and exotic, with Darius at the heart, he desperately searches for the elixir to end his curse. From his early days we learn of his heritage; from his time in Paris when Vaudeville was in its infancy; to present day New York and Miami. This story of compassion visits Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris, the coffee fields of Sri Lanka, and the dusty bungalows of ancient Jerusalem and Gethsemane with elegant prose and stunning detail. A.L. Mengel weaves a tapestry of luxuriant wickedness; paints a portrait of a dazzling vixen seductress; a mysterious secret society; and an unusual mortician all searching for the same purpose...but each spellbound by evil.
