As the world spirals deeper into chaos, Delaney McPhearson finds herself in the center of a battle far from over.
After the events on the clifftop and in the realm of the archons, the demands on Laney have only increased.
As have the dangers.
The sliver of a chance at success lies in an ancient ruin that is mired in mystery. To find it, Laney and her people will need the help of allies who are little more than whispers.
But they have to try to do the near impossible as the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
Because death is closing in. And it has Laney’s home in its sights.

This is a great read! I think these books are better read in order to get the full enjoyment from the series. Once again a absolutely packed adventure, twists & turns, good action & excitement, with a well thought out plot. Nicely written I was quickly absorbed back into this well written world! A really great adventure!
This book wont make sense if you have not read the preceding series. I finished this book in two sessions and couldn’t put it down. Just when you think you understand it all the author throws more twists and turns. The end of days is near and some of the main characters though not Laney are now out of the battle. Love this entire series and will be eagerly anticipating the next book.
I can say that nothing has ever touched me like the Belial Series. Adventure, mystery, love,heartache. Laughter and a never-ending ride. I look forward to each tale. One can not go wrong, with the time put into reading. Looking forward to the next.
The Belial Sons main contribution to the storyline is a shocking revelation that I will not reveal here so as not to ruin the surprise for other readers. I personally have a hard time accepting the new information as truth because it is so far out of line with the story so far. I guess we just have to wait for the next book to see if the author can convince us that it is actually true. The rest of the book is consistent with her other books and is a fun read.
I've been an avid reader since the 1950's. The Belial series is far and away the best series I have ever read. When Brady completes the last 2 books of the series and I have finished reading them, I'll probably start over with the very first book and start a personal reading marathon. And being as I own every book in the series, I won't have to wait between books. Really looking forward to it. Thank you R. D.
RD Brady is a great writer and the Belial series is her best.
This is another fast-paced exciting book. Laney is even more powerful than usual. So are many of the other special characters. But RD killed off some of her characters in this book. And some of those scenes are tear servers. Of course, in the Belial books, few of these special characters actually die forever, so maybe she'll let us meet them again?
Man I love this series...as well as the original series...as well as almost everything R.D. Brady has written. Even though most of the books are in the 300 to 400 (or more) page range, they read like a 200 pg. book. The reader gets sucked in almost immediately.
I've read most of prior books and am still here. Series is intense, lots of Biblical suggestions and facts, great story line and lots of action and twist. Don't stop
