ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: Fate of the Redeemed
Series: Journey of Fate #2
Author: Chad Pettit
Publisher: Ambassador International
Release Date: October 1, 2019
Genre: Suspense Fantasy
An angel with amnesia. A demon with a vendetta. The man caught in their crossfire.
Lester Sharp has been given a second chance to live a life of compassion, but his decision to follow God will be tested when his estranged father calls to tell him his brother has been killed in combat. A demon unleashes a series of attacks on him, and someone he thought was lost to his past emerges.
Lester is guarded by the angel, Draven, but when Morane catches the watcher off his guard, Draven loses his memory and finds himself being held prisoner in a remote Somali village. His only ally is Ibrahim, a man who finds out his son has been murdered by extremists when his granddaughter appears out of nowhere and somehow possesses supernatural powers.
As Morane’s fury is unleashed, time is running out for Lester, and Draven’s fate is in the hands of a man whose faith is being pushed to the limit.
While Lester fights for his life—and for his soul—will he make the right choices, or will he decide—once and for all—that he doesn’t need God? And why is one man so important in the midst of spiritual warfare?
EXCERPT
Town of Olympia, Eastern
United States
The watcher stood silently, enshrouded by the ageless camouflage
of the spirit realm. It is the place of no place, a tangible reality only to
the immortal and supernatural players on a timeless battlefield for the souls
of mankind. It is where “bumps in the night” are born, where unanticipated
tempests of raging lightning and rain lash out on a fallen Earth as the
elemental warriors dance their cosmic melee of undying death.
The watcher smiled. Comfortably. Peacefully.
Transitioning from his human form of dark skin and long dreadlocks, he kept his
immortal gaze fixed on the quiet house, which he had just left and where a
newly reformed soul now comforted a man snatched from the claws of death. A single
light in the living room of the house remained on, its faint yellow glow
piercing the night like a beacon atop a lone lighthouse faithfully guiding lost
ships to its reassuring shores.
He sighed and let down his guard to complete the
transition.
Dark brown, sinewy arms began to turn into
thicker, but still slender, arms that blended into the shades of myriad colors
surrounding him. He shifted his attention to this, enjoying the spell of the
ever-changing skin tones. Dark green and shadow like the grass at his feet.
Yellow, glowing like the light from the house. He turned his hand so the palm
was facing him and wiggled his fingers in order to watch them rapidly change
between the mixtures of color and light.
His pleasure at the sight was intense but unmatched by the elation
of the night’s victory. Centuries behind this invisible curtain, decade after
decade watching unaware mortals go through their endless loop of birth and
death, killing and being killed, starving and warring. Years passed like seconds
to Draven, the watcher for so long, but tonight had been different. He had been
allowed to go to one of them, to show his power in the presence of a mortal and
be a part of the reclamation of a soul.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Chad Pettit grew up lost in the world of fantasy fiction but alienated from a knowledge of God. With no real direction in his life, he shipped out for basic training twelve days after high school. He continued down a path of sin and destruction through two combat tours to Iraq, but then God pulled back the blinders, and he met his Lord and Savior. One passion that never left him was his love for fiction, and in 2013 he went back to school and earned his degree in English. This helped him develop his craft, spending long hours pounding away at the keys until his battles with guilt, fear, and shame came alive on the page.

Congratulations, Chad! It sounds like it was inspired by Frank Peretti.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lila. Actually, I had never read anything by Frank Peretti until after I wrote this book. I didn't even know he wrote about angels and demons, but I've read The Oath and This Present Darkness in the past year!
DeleteI like the cover.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is so chilling! It's great to see a new name in Christian fiction.
