VOCATION of a GADFLY
"The devil did not need to work at all
when people were so willing to do his dirty work for him."
~ Monsignor Peter Reinold
When faith is tested by fire...
He had already given his life to God.
He never imagined being asked to reclaim his former life.
Monsignor Peter Reinold has spent years serving quietly as a Catholic priest and exorcist, believing he had left the world of business and ambition behind forever.
Then tragedy strikes.
A devastating accident forces him back into the Reinold family empire to protect those he loves while his younger sister struggles to shoulder responsibilities she never expected.
Old temptations awaken.
Old wounds reopen.
And before long, Peter discovers that the greatest battle awaiting him is not fought in the boardroom...
...but against an ancient enemy determined to destroy him.
Prepare to Encounter ...
Faith tested under impossible circumstances
Temptation disguised as opportunity
Choices whose consequences reach beyond this life
Quiet courage in the face of overwhelming darkness
Meet Monsignor Peter Reinold
Peter Reinold is not the sort of man who seeks the extraordinary.
His deepest desire is simply to remain faithful to the vocation God has entrusted to him.
Quietly intelligent.
Compassionate.
Steadfast.
He is willing to confront darkness, even when doing so places everything he values at risk.
Whether standing beside a hospital bed, guiding a troubled soul, or facing forces beyond human understanding, Peter understands that the greatest battles are often fought in silence.
His courage does not come from fearlessness.
It comes from faith.
More than a supernatural thriller...
Vocation of a Gadfly is not simply a novel about extraordinary events.
It is the story of a man striving to remain faithful when every part of his life is pulled in opposite directions.
Family.
Duty.
Love.
Temptation.
Priesthood.
Each demands something of him.
Sooner or later, he must choose which claim upon him matters most.
What readers are saying
"Intricate, compelling, and surprisingly engaging."
"Nothing so mundane!"
"...faces deepest evil to give any reader shivers."
