Phoenix

In the Garden of Evil Phoenix

The world has descended into madness, chaos, corruption, and evil. What has once been a paradise has warped and distorted into an unfathomable garden of evil. It is a world where man has fallen so far that only corruption can save him. Adam is one such man. He lives a virtuous life, until he is thrust into a cosmic, mind-blowing war between good and evil, God and the Devil. His life slowly unravels as he meets Ringer, a devil bent on corrupting all that Adam stands for. He will stop at nothing to bring Adam to his descension, to his complete collapse and surrender to corruption. But that is only the beginning. Through a series of twists and turns, he learns that the garden of evil is much more sinister than it would appear even on the apparently cruel surface. The world is so corrupt and laden with the destructive impulse that evil has not only displaced good, but evil is the last shot that people such as Adam have for saving the good. Adam can only save others by committing evil acts and atrocities: He must, ultimately, sell his soul to the Devil to have any chance at survival. Underlying this cosmic battle is the danger of free will, and the cruel ironies surrounding it. Man was once idyllic and happy, and lived in a paradise, but did not know what it meant to truly choose, to be free. Now, however, man has chosen, and he has chosen corruption and degradation. And what if the only way to save the world from corruption is to destroy the very thing that makes us free? What if the forces that were once good have become so corrupt that there is no choice but to make all slaves to the unreachable will that is the perfect, absolute good?These are some of the daunting questions that are explored in the epic, dark fantasy novel In the Garden of Evil. These are the tough questions that may never find an answer or resolution. But through Adam's determination to maintain the innocence that he sees in the world, and the goodness that still exists despite the high stakes, redemption becomes possible ... but not without the cost of losing your soul, your very essence, and not without challenging all you ever believed in ...
