Molly Fyre is becoming an Immortal today, her twentieth birthday. Her benefactor Arnos has decided to send her on a mission to return to him an object, the Krystal of Carolan, that was stolen from the Keeper by Dax, his enemy. A team of Immortal warriors, including her companion of one year, Eric, has been assembled by Arnos to accompany her on her journey. It's a responsibility she shoulders with trepidation and reluctance as she finds out some things about Arnos she didn't know growing up. Molly has acquired some pretty fantastic abilities as a result of her immortality, like being able to conjure fireballs and the ability to read emotions. And she can transform into a dragon! As they set out on their adventure they encounter various strange creatures and people who challenge their progress. Molly finds out quickly that being the leader is a challenge she both hates and relishes once she realizes that Arnos has ulterior motives, Dax is not the enemy and her true feelings about Eric and family are all that matter.

“Provocative, insightful, and enlightening—a foray into an often-neglected topic that merits more attention than it typically receives.” --Lee Strobel, New York Times bestselling author of The Case for Christ What is Our Fascination with the Other Side? Join investigative reporter Billy Hallowell as he delves into the strange phenomena of supernatural activity. Themes of demonic possession, exorcism, and ghosts have overtaken Hollywood, with countless films and TV shows delving into the age-old struggle against evil. But the question is why? Even with so much focus on the topic, there seems to be very little public knowledge and discussion about the theology and real-life claims surrounding demons. Quite often, many people remain silent about their experiences or resort to quietly whispering about what they’ve seen, heard, or felt for fear of being labeled as crazy. The truth is, even pastors, priests, and clergy who have observed firsthand accounts of possession and deliverance can succumb to the strange and terrifying effects of intense spiritual warfare. For people of faith, Playing with Fire addresses these core questions: Are demons active today? If they do indeed exist, what are they? Fallen angels? Nephilim? Can demons inhabit human beings? According to the Bible, can people die and remain behind as “ghosts”? Playing with Fire explores the theological underpinnings surrounding the supernatural. Relying on firsthand accounts, newspaper reports, and Christian experts, Hallowell takes readers through the various views and perspectives surrounding supernatural activity.

Playing with Fire chronicles the ongoing struggle facing Louisiana families trying to live and work against the backdrop of corrupt politicians and corporate greed. However, the story presented here is relevant wherever low-income, disenfranchised people are not included in decisions about their health and environment. This book examines the tale of Marine Shale Processors, the world’s largest hazardous waste company, and the women who fought to protect their community and their children. The lesson here is that a dedicated group of people fighting for what is right can win and it serves as an example for any community that wants to determine what their own environmental future. Playing with Fire is a well-documented account that provides lessons for communities, government agencies, and corporations.
