Description
You've never heard of the existence of angels and demons such as these. When a killer appears in 1936 Chicago, a realm beneath the earth emerges, where angels and demons exist and are able to beget children with humans. Among these entities, there is none more dangerous to the human race than the mad angel Wormwood. Shunned by both heaven and hell, he dreams a future for Earth to rival his greatest triumph: the Fall of Rome and the Dark Ages that followed. to achieve this, one man must die--the only one who can make a difference. Unable to intervene directly, Wormwood sends the best assassin to carry out the task, Mr. Tarragon. the hunt ensues when Tarragon procures the services of a private investigator, Harold Darnier. What follows is a discovery of the age-old discord between the ascended beings of Heaven and the alliance of the fallen and ancient demons, with humans caught right in the middle. When things go awry, Harold is soon forced to fight for his life against supernatural forces and creatures, only to be saved by two unlikely characters--a man named Crito and a pale, mysterious man in black. Bitter Waters is a compelling new read by Brian Hurd. Dark, imaginative, and thought-provoking, the story takes the reader to a world where supernatural entities coexist with humans to find power and dominance.
