Resplendent Emulation

Publisher Marketing: Angels, demons, good, evil, right, wrong. . . Since the dawn of time a war has been raging beyond the fringes of human consciousness between entities that embody our wildest dreams as well as our darkest fears. In this battle we find ourselves scrambling for purpose and the deep rooted desire for happiness. Although we possess free will our actions are always subject to manipulation, our choices compromised. Imagine for a moment, what you would do if these forces manifested themselves in a way that allowed you to interact with or be directly involved in the shaping of world events and influencing the personal choices those around you would make. Would you use your power for the benefit of humanity or would you simply pursue personal gain? Jocelyn Burns finds herself struggling against malevolent forces that intend to do her great harm. Her faith in her spiritual guide, a riapsed called Eran, allows her to weather the adversity pitted against her by his antithesis, an epoh called Malize. As she struggles to find meaning and direction in her life the menacing entity reconstitutes itself like the mythical phoenix from the ashes. Abandoning the prodigious form known as Maximillian Mason, this entity continues his affront in the body of downtrodden Guy Charbonneau. Assuming the mantle, Guy inherits the vast wealth and assets of this entity's former host. Events quickly unfold that present impediments in the expedient rise to prominence that the antagonist had anticipated. Marshalling the forces loyal to him from the ranks of malignant entities in the etherium and the converted legions of masses in the physical realm, he begins his assault upon our heroine, Jocelyn. Empowered by the faith of Jocelyn, Eran infuses her with the confidence, strength and courage to engage the malevolent forays imposed upon her by the combined darkness and chaos in our world.
