"In a sudden whoosh, fire surrounded me, a holy sanctuary of fire. My long red hair blew back, electricity crackled along my skin, and as the flames engulfed me, I felt the power of the Lord descend upon me and surge forth from within me. And the necklace of truth and mercy about my neck burst into a white blaze, as if it held the very light of God." The Deceiver Saga continues as Melanie Bishop struggles to remain courageous and reclaim her emotional victory after a demonic attack by her father; and it feels as though the entire world knows about the mortifying ordeal as college classmates whisper, police investigate, and news crews hound Melanie about her father's sadistic crimes. She is too humiliated to even speak to David, the man who fought off her father; though in her heart, she wants nothing more than to rush into his arms. Despite the chaos in Melanie's life, her true calling must remain the priority: to seek and protect celestial artifacts before the enemy can acquire them and discover their true power. Neither time nor space are strong enough to stop the forces of hell from hunting her down. Transported thousands of years into the past, and left to wander across the wilderness in pursuit of the artifacts, Melanie is provided protection from the enemy's warriors by a dysfunctional yet legendary family. As the battle descends upon them, it is Melanie who must pick up a sword and fight to the death.
