RealmShift by Alan Baxter
The world is a place full of gods and those who believe in them, but B
ance is needed to keep it all in order. Isiah is a centuries-old former human who works to maintain and restore the balance and in this world; Balance is an entity, not just a state of mind.
Isiah is called to rescue and protect Samuel Harrigan so that he can complete his purpose. This is not an easy task because Samuel sold his evil soul to the Devil and then reneged. Isiah not only has to keep Samuel out of Lucifer’s clutches, but he also has to get him to the jungles of Guatemala to meet a date with destiny. And Lucifer has lots of minions and tricks to get in the way.
Isiah is an unlikely hero who embraces neither good nor evil. RealmShift challenges all that we think we know with thought-provoking concepts and sequences. Isiah’s world is a constantly shifting place where the least action or inaction can have dire consequences for gods and humanity alike. The novel is an action-adventure, an exploration of spiritual constructs, and a rousingly satisfying tale. The writing is taut and seamless, and the storylines flow into a climatic finish. It is full of outrageous and totally believable characters, the most unexpected of allies and enemies, and continually shifting scenarios that cause the reader to gasp in surprise or horror. Isiah is the only hope in a world dark and grim, even though he frequently works in ignorance of the ultimate goal.
RealmShift is a mesmerizing novel that will both entrap and entrance the reader. It is a book to be read slowly in order to discover and savor the subtle messages and twists in it.
