Characters

Daniel

Daniel grew up in the Holy Moses Home for Bleeding Heart Orphans. Over the years, he’s seen so many other kids come and go, he’s stopped making friends. It’s just not worth it anymore. Now he’s desperate to leave and try life on his own. But even he can’t imagine just how unfriendly (and totally weird) his world is about to get.

Ben

Ben has the life Daniel always wanted. You know–parents, a nice house, Mp3 players, tricked-out bikes. All the normal kid stuff. But when he decides to help Daniel escape from his adoptive family, he begins to learn the real world is way creepier than he thought.

Raylin

Raylin is an independent, take-charge kind of girl with her own ideas for taking down the Enemy. Friends and family? Who needs them? But when her schemes backfire, she may find that life on her own isn’t quite what she expected.

Seren

Seren is determined, clever, and no-nonsense. No matter how resourceful she is, however, she can’t escape the past haunting her. Redemption is her . . . and her sister’s . . . only hope.

The Father

Though Daniel has given up on the idea of ever having a perfect family life, apparently the powers that be in the universe didn’t get the memo.  An ancient deity known simply as The Father decides Daniel is perfect “son” material, and adopts him. Which means, of course, that Daniel inherits some crazy, spiritual sword that the forces of evil will do anything to steal, even if it means destroying him in the process. Naturally.

The Enemy

Evil Incarnate. Ruler of the Underworld. The Destroyer Of All Who Live. He’s the author of all evil and has plans to push humanity beyond redemption. The only hope the world has is if Daniel and his friends can seal his spirit into the Abyss.
