Simultaneously, four other individuals are also abducted, and all of them wake up together in a mysterious room. They soon encounter an otherworldly entity that reveals they have been chosen for a higher purpose because a looming threat is approaching.
 
Meanwhile, Larry finds himself in trouble with the police after he claims he found his wife's lifeless body at home.

This is a riveting and intriguing novel. There are always young women that go missing, and so this is an unfortunately familiar scenario. It’s written well and pulls the reader in.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy story following Brad, his friends and a group of strangers that were abducted and then told by an otherworldly entity that they were chosen for a higher purpose as a threat is coming. What is this threat and will they succeed? It might be worth a second look. Well done.
