The Town Of Forever – Chronicles of Jacob Dark
SYNOPSIS:
From the beginning of his life Jacob Dark has struggled with evil. From his dysfunctional childhood through his formative teenage years Jacob is plagued with darkness and despair, a burden that no person, much less a child should have to bear. Madness is subjective; everyone experiences it at some level. Jacob’s battle between madness and sanity will take him on a journey where he will confront his own personal demons. Are they an illusion or is Jacob in a fight for his life against an ancient evil? What type of hell is unleashed upon the earth will be decided by what Jacob does. Either to stop it or let it consume everything and everyone. Our fate will be in his hands. —V.M. PhillipsLa Jefa – Cover Illustration
