Countdown has come to the souls of Ephesus. Words uttered in secret in Ephesus were vows made in two different dimensions, holding the power to change the destiny of not only the soul who uttered them but of events that would impact the masses. But were the vows of a Priest more powerful than the vows of a sinner? To Mike Dorand, he didn't care. As a black ops military operative, the mission was simple: get in and get out. Keep them safe and live. Then why did it never seem to go that way? With a mission to save a continent from the looming threat of chemical warfare, Dorand is thrown into dealings with a Priest—a Priest with a personal agenda bent on playing God with his life and countless others. Would evil win over Ephesus through the power of the vows given to Sadon by his followers, or would Lordel retain his stand in advancement in saving man's souls from the evil within themselves? Would a vow prove to be powerful enough to destroy one man . . . a priest . . . or a whole city? Would they choose, or would they be chosen?
