The Forgiven

THE FORGIVEN is a Supernatural Adventure

After enduring so much at an earlier time, Anak is determined to keep the City of Hope free from Lucifer's attempt to take over. Unfortunately, the demons have the upper hand, and Anak, along with his friends, finds themselves held captive in hell.

Meanwhile, the angel Miriam and her companions manage to escape from their captivity in the city. Determined to help free Anak, it seems their quest is hopeless. Eventually, Miriam sends the other women home and stays in the forest, praying and waiting for a response from Lord Adonai. However, the answer she receives is not quite what she expects.

Shortly thereafter, having requested Adonai’s help, Lucifer arrives to kidnap Miriam and take her into hell: "for a brief stay with adorable me." Miriam wonders, "Lord, will this nightmare never end?" Then, the expected, an astonishing event occurs that everyone thought was impossible.

Meanwhile, Anak, freed from hell, learns of the unbelievable situation and becomes determined to turn it around.

Later, Miriam’s friends set out to end Lucifer’s daydream and he soon finds himself transformed into a dragon, forever walking the corridors of hell.

Hearing of it, Miriam decides that something must change. She approaches Adonai with a request, to Anak's dismay. While change is constant in heaven, in hell, change is a given, but the change that takes place astonish demons and angels alike. But how will these changes upset the balance of power?

Reviewers Comments

The Forgiven is a work of fiction in the fantasy, theological adventure subgenres by author Brandy Marks. Using Christian themes and theology as its basis, the battle between Earth and Hell goes on between angels and demons and even the mortals.

Author Brandy Marks offers a lot for readers to take in throughout the pacy plot of this exciting and dramatic tale. Borrowing from the religious doctrine, she develops a dark and chilling vision of Hell that seems to offer little in the way of redemption, yet a surprising twist is at the end.

I really enjoyed the dialogue and the way it uniquely characterizes each of the antagonistic forces, and the psychological journey of certain characters with unexpected striking plot twists that gave the novel another level of intrigue.

Overall, readers seeking a drama where genuinely surprising twists and chilling suspense reign supreme need look no further to satisfy all their theological fantasy needs.
