Synopsis

Bizarre Encounter Initiates Extreme Spiritual Battle  Dylan Foster’s carefully constructed, orderly world begins to fray, thread by thread, the day the eyes of hell turn upon her. After a chance encounter with a creepy, sickly looking stranger, her days become punctuated with disturbing, inexplicable events. Desperate for answers, Dylan seeks not only to extricate herself from the nightmare, but to separate the spiritual from the earthly, friend from foe, angel from devil, good from evil. She’s smack in the eye of the battle with only God-issued spiritual armor and her own wits to protect her.  I saw the first fly alight on the edge of my plate during supper. This was no ordinary fly. It was huge. The size of a small Volkswagen. I could have painted daisies on it and sold rides to small children.  Hotter than the eyes of hell...  School is back in session, but for psychology professor Dylan Foster, the promise of a new semester is dying in the heat of the late Texas summer. First, there is the bizarre encounter with a ghastly pale stranger. Then her mother’s engagement ring turns up—the same ring that was buried with her mother two years before.  Soon, Dylan’s carefully ordered world is unraveling, one thread at a time. A former patient accuses her of impropriety, putting her career in jeopardy. A suicide plunges her deeper into shadow. Relationships with colleagues start to crumble. And then there are those flies in her house...  Dylan Foster is about to get a crash course in spiritual warfare—and a glimpse of her own small but significant role in a vast eternal conflict. But when the dust settles, will anything be left of her life as she knows it?  

About The Author

Raised in a family of musicians, Melanie Wells is a native of the Texas panhandle. An accomplished musician herself, Wells, a fiddle player, attended Southern Methodist University on a music scholarship. After graduating with a degree in English, she earned a masters degree in biblical studies from Dallas Theological Seminary, where she later taught in the counseling department. Wells also holds a Master of Science in counseling psychology from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio , where she taught as a member of the adjunct faculty. She is a licensed professional counselor as well as a licensed marriage and family therapist, and is a clinical member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. A private practice counselor since 1992, Wells is the founder and director of LifeWorks, a collaborative community of therapists in Dallas, Texas. Her extensive background in psychology and biblical studies, as well as her lengthy and varied counseling experience, sparked a fascination with spiritual warfare. She brings intriguing insight to the connection between the spiritual realm and the empirical world. These themes are predominant in her fiction novels. Melanie lives in Dallas with her dog, Gunner, who wishes she wouldn’t spend so much time at the computer.

Goodreads review by Kyler on April 17, 2019

When seeing reviews for this book, so many commented on the lack of creativity as the main character is obviously the author. However I think by making herself the main character actually displayed a sense of vulnerability and was actually a beautiful spin. I rated this 4 starts over 5 because I am......more

Goodreads review by Janet on November 02, 2011

"Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys."

Goodreads review by Hilarey on March 08, 2011

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this book. The pacing is consistently suspenseful and the end was satisfying. I don't often go for spiritual warfare books so this was a new style but Wells' voice is very sincere and pleasing. I look forward to the next two in the series.......more
