The Devil's HAnd returns once again, still looking for the missing tome. But this time there is something else out there...
The Devil's Hand returns with old problems and new. Someone more powerful has escaped to Melbourne, and Darin still can't find those journals.
Follow The Hand as he struggles to find what is lost, whilst he uncovers something far greater than he could have imagined, something maybe even he cannot overcome...
Maybe the end of everything...
Conviction is part two of The Devil’s Hand series, a dark fantasy with spatters of humor and a dash of inter-dimensional romance.
Excerpt
Darin stood watching. He was on the brow of a hill and the world below burned. He started down the grassy hill, the earth cracked beneath his feet as smoke rose—the heat of the soil burning through the soles of his shoes—the stench of sulfur in the air. He found the smell out of place but comforting…like home.
He stepped over the burning corpse of a child.
What had happened? Darin looked around, he didn’t truly recognize the area, but it could have been any one of a hundred places. It was a city: London? Edinburgh? Paris? Rome? It could have been one or none of the cities that he had visited in his time.
He stopped and watched a river of Hellion Roaches spew from a glowing red crack in the floor. They were not of this realm. They should not have been here.
And he couldn’t control them like he should have.
Hundreds of them rolled out and down towards the street…the screams of innocence filled the air. Darin shook his head and continued down to the street and over to the window of a store. He wiped his hand over the soot blackened window and squinted through. The family that hid—cowered—inside stared at him, the father’s eyes wide and terror filled. He couldn’t know who—or what—Darin was…the fear was something else.
He listened to the familiar applause of the scuttling creatures getting louder as their excitement grew. He watched them crawl through the cracks under the doors…he watched them find the family.
A man, a woman, and a child.
Darin watched his pets feed. They tore at the family, an orgasmic chatter rising from them as they took them with prejudice, without concern for age or sex.
Darin squinted in distain. This wasn’t right.
