The Evil Within, (Paperback)

<p><strong>Book #5 in THE STRONGHOLD series</strong></p><p></p><p>The demons didn't need to breach the gates of South Point. They just needed to find what was already rotting inside.</p><p></p><p>Days after angels won a miraculous victory, evil is clawing its way back. Kidnappings have resumed. A social media campaign dismantles the community's faith in real time. And the two pastors chosen to lead the prophecy haven't prayed in days-they're too busy counting Spanish gold coins in a cave.</p><p></p><p>When one pastor murders a pawnbroker and drowns hunting treasure in a riptide, the other is left shattered, demon-possessed, and facing an impossible choice: cling to the gold or surrender everything to fight a spiritual war he's already losing.</p><p></p><p>Near the Mexican border, a new demon lord named Andras has seized the cartel territories-and he's not coming for South Point with soldiers. He's sending infiltrators wearing stolen identities: teachers, contractors, church volunteers. People the community will welcome with open arms.</p><p></p><p>By the time the faithful realize their neighbors aren't who they appear to be, the real war will have already begun-not on the battlefield, but in the pews, the classrooms, and the construction site of the Trinity of Hope.</p><p></p><p><strong>The enemy isn't at the gates. The enemy is within.</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>Fiction with Purpose.</strong></p><p>Proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to organizations whose primary focus is the rescue, recovery, rehabilitation, and restoration of victims of human trafficking.</p><p></p><p><strong>Join the Fight.</strong></p><p></p><p>"A wonderful piece of fiction that I could easily see being adapted into a screen production. Gave me a</p><p>similar feeling as the Netflix hit STRANGER THINGS... extremely memorable. I cannot recommend this</p><p>fictional world and author enough." - Matthew Lloyd, Reedsy Discovery</p><p></p><p>"This isn't fast-paced for speed's sake - the story keeps raising the stakes while making sure every choice</p><p>leaves a mark. - Harper B. Morgan, Reedsy Discovery</p>
