Every thirty seconds someone reaches for a blade, pills, or gun in an attempt to end their life. Every twelve minutes, an unsuspecting victim succumbs to the silent demons that call them home–for some it is born of mental illness such as depression or schizophrenia, for others substance abuse, and still more are driven mad by traumatic events. Yet even amid the darkness and despair there is one sinister force manipulating these innocent lives—Belial, The Fallen—who seeks to bring about the end of mankind through calculated deception and manipulation. Michael stands alone against this malevolent being; his tortured soul bearing the scars of years of nightmares and hidden memories.

Just when Michael thought the nightmares couldn’t get any worse, he’s pulled through a series of tortures that push him to the brink of annihilation. With his body and soul completely broken, he discovers he’s been chosen to be the champion against the evil that’s been tormenting him, and must summon the strength within himself to either fight back or watch the destruction of the world and all that he holds dear.
