Brent Venturi, leader of Delta Force’s Phantom Squad has moved back to Palm Cove where he was raised by his grandfather. There, he is content to live a peaceful existence as the town’s head librarian. Although he loves the peace and tranquility that have become his life, he is haunted by nightmares. Nightmares that always pertain to some skill that he had learned as a covert operative and they always contain an image of his lost love; Chloe.



Brent’s life turns upside down when he receives a gift from Lucile Conklin. Her late husband has bequeathed a rare book collection to him upon his death. Among the books Brent finds a letter written by his grandfather twenty years earlier. What he doesn’t know is that he has also been passed a secret, now known as The Endowment. 



This secret is so old that it dates back to the dawn of creation. A secret which began as a gift from God, but because of man’s wickedness and immorality has become so evil that if it were to fall into the wrong hands, Armageddon would occur.

A SECRET THAT IS A CURSED BLESSING.

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, A LIFE BEGINS AND ANOTHER ENDS.

IN A BLINK OF AN EYE, BRENT VENTURI FALLS INTO THE CHASM OF DESPAIR.



What do you do when everything is lost? When the person you loved is gone and all you have left is guilt? These are the questions that face Brent, the leader of the Phantom Squad and the latest in Noah’s line of descendants. His answer—go back to the beginning, back to where it all began—Mount Ararat.



THE LAST KNOWN RESTING PLACE OF NOAH’S ARK



In his travels, Brent will meet Rowtag Achak, a Cree brave and Special Forces sniper who is on a similar path of self-destruction. Together, they will trace their steps from Palm Cove to Washington D.C., all the way to Armenia and the Khor Virap Monastery which sits at the base of Mount Ararat. Their travels will eventually take them to Alpha Camp and the Hindu Kush mountains on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

When President Dupree and the Phantom Squad get captured by the Brotherhood of Gaza, time for introspection is over and time for action begins. Brent must find a way to get back to the man he was in order to save the people still left in his life.

What begins as a sabbatical of self-awareness turns into a mission of survival. His own, that of the squad and more importantly, that of the president of the United States. What man and nature takes away, only God can restore. The restoration of the Cornerstone.



TO FIND THE BEGINNING,

ONE MUST WALK THROUGH THE PAST

AND BE WILLING TO STEP INTO THE FUTURE.

Cryptic messages written in Old Testament languages.

A pleading from the Vatican.

The probability of terrorist involvement.



And that’s just the beginning of “Cursed Days.” 

Brent Venturi and the Phantom Squad will go in search for what the ancients have called ‘the messengers’. At stake, the mythical Ark of the Covenant. 

Some say the ark contains divine powers: powers of heaven and hell. Some say it was destroyed along with Solomon’s Temple. Others say it was stolen by King Solomon’s son and taken to Egypt. Only the messengers know for sure.

In the third installment of The Trilogy of The Chosen, the Covenant Team will race throughout the Middle East in search of the messengers and the ultimate prize, but they are not alone. The Brotherhood of Gaza is also in the hunt. Their motive . . . world domination.

The only clues to the search were written at the time of Moses. The only rules to the search: The Chosen One must take the ones who came before him. His only warning: Evil Finds A Way!

Since the second century, A.D. a myth has been told among men. The Roman Catholic church has excommunicated all priests for even muttering its existence. In the Twenty-first century nothing has changed.

An ex-priest preaches of a time called The Enlightenment. A time when the world is ripe for Satan’s taking. A time when Satan will hand pick the earth’s evilest to entrench his spirit. A time of epic battle between the Dark One’s spawn, the omega Butcher, and God’s chosen, Brent Venturi. The stakes: Everything…winner takes all! 

If the myth is to be believed, God’s chosen stands no chance in winning. If Satan wins…God help us all.

Such is the backdrop to the thrilling plot of the second part of the Trilogy of the Chosen; Cursed Presence.

Recruited by the FBI straight out of Quantico for her intelligence and attitude.

Now, they need her back!

Six girls have washed up along the Florida Keys and four agents are dead. The bureau’s only chance is a rogue agent who flies by her own wings. 

It is said, “Fight fire with fire.” The bureau knows, “Fight sin with SIN.”

SIN

Her name says it all: Tempting―Dangerous―Deadly
