Spirito guerriero
by Crystal Mary LindseyPochissimi possono vedere nel regno spirituale del bene e del male. Serenity Charles è una giovane donna dotata del dono speciale della visione spirituale. Grazie ad esso, si impegna a combattere i poteri della malvagità. I suoi occhi spirituali sono aperti per vedere l'inganno malvagio e osserva i demoni che vivono negli umani causando loro comportamenti distruttivi. Indossando un'armatura sacra, Serenity (Rena), va in battaglia per proteggere coloro che i demoni ferirebbero o annienterebbero a sangue freddo. Con il suo scudo è protetta dai loro dardi infuocati mentre, usando la sua spada del Verbo, li fa a pezzi mandandoli via urlando in preda al panico. Tre degli Dei Waring Angels, Avigdor, Ariel e Akim, sono i suoi guardiani e collaboratori, che la sostengono durante le sue vittorie. Aiden Baker, un capo minerario, incontra ed è apparentemente preso dalla bellezza di Rena. Combatte la sua attrazione per lei ignorando o esprimendo la sua riluttanza a perseguire una relazione promettente. Quest'uomo arrabbiato si intestardirà o inseguirà Rena quando lascerà la città per tornare al suo luogo di nascita? Questa storia soprannaturale si svolge in una città dell'entroterra australiano durante i ruggenti anni venti. Un periodo di tempo segnato dalla felicità, ma che spesso mancava di rispetto e morale. L'iniquità prosperava principalmente nei giacimenti auriferi dove la fame di arricchirsi rapidamente prosperava sull'onestà.
