Ian Priestly is a pioneer in Past Life Regression. With his help, Kyle Morrow, a family lawyer in Toronto, has discovered his previous existence as Ta-lon, a former citizen of Atlantis. When Kyle’s niece Amanda is attacked by a mysterious winged creature and Ian is murdered, Kyle is plunged head first into a terrifying nightmare that threatens to tear apart his life and challenge everything he believes in.

Who is behind the plot that cost him his job and his reincarnated soul mate? Thomas and Victor Janus are a strange and powerful force to be reckoned with. Their influence and wealth are enormous. Are they behind Ian’s murder? What about the "Huntsville Horror?" Does this monster really exist, and do the Janus’ know more about the "horror" than they are admitting?

Kyle must hide his niece not only from the supernatural but also from a very human threat. She is being stalked, and Kyle is determined to find out why. With the help of Ben Parker, the reporter who originally broke the story of the "horror," and a beautiful psychic named Tanya, Kyle will go beyond the realm of his own understanding and find himself lost in a world of incredible evil.

Twilight Dynasty: Courting Evil is a thrilling and frightening tale that is impossible to put down. It should definitely be read with the lights on. A novel you won’t soon forget, even if you try.
