An alternative cover edition for this ASIN can be found here. College student Claire Jones does not normally jump to wild conclusions about the supernatural. Bigfoot, vampires, and the Loch Ness Monster all seemed to have rational reasons… before it happened. Everything in Claire's life seemed perfectly normal, albeit charmed: an engagement to her high-school sweetheart, friends visiting from college, and an idyllic life in the sleepy northland. All of that changes when she is abducted by a shapeshifting hobo and whisked through a dimensional gate. The stranger claims that nothing is what it seems, and a powerful sorcerer believes she is the key to summoning his dark god. Fleeing the enemy's forces, Claire must choose her path. Will she run from her destiny forever, or can she truly claim the awesome weapons of the mythic Architect King, and end the sorcerer's reign of terror? Failure means he will unleash Sh’logath’s cataclysmic power upon the universe, shattering dimensional barriers, and devouring all reality. It's a good thing she's made a werewolf friend who carries a really big sword.
Author
Christopher D Schmitz is the author of fiction and nonfiction as well as a regular blogger. Following completion of his first fantasy novel in the early 2000s he began working on lots of short fiction in order to refine his craft and went on to publish many pieces from 1,000-15,000 words in a variety of genres and outlets as writing exercises. Putting fiction away for a while, he pursued post-graduate work where he received a new appreciation for nonfiction, wrote Why Your Pastor Left, and then returned to his love for fiction, writing several new books. Schmitz attained a Biblical Studies degree and a Youth Ministry minor from Trinity Bible College in 2003 and went on to gain a Masters of Arts in Religion from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary in 2014. Other: he is generally known as a decent guitarist and played/sang in a rock band for several years. Schmitz is also an ungraded bagpipe player and has been known to pop up in random places and play them—sometimes while dressed as a pirate... because normal is boring.
