Logos

In all Chaos, there is a cosmos, in all disorder, a secret order. Now, imagine if the Horsemen were already among us, and imagine if the Fourth had a name. This is the story of an immortal soul. It is the story of a lot that had been cast, a story of heartbreak, pain, and acceptance, and ultimately, it is a story of redemption through love. From war ravaged 9BC Germania to modern day London, it is the story of three people, whose lives will be forever changed by faith and fate . . . This is her story; her name is Selena, and she is the sword in the Shadows.

Bending and Blending Genres, Logos, a work of historical and theological fiction with a dash of romanticism, takes us on a journey through time and space as our apocalyptic narrator explores humanity’s tainted and violent history through her own anguished relationship with faith and fate.

Selena, the narrator in Logos, is a Hidden One, a killer, cursed to watch humanity eat itself. Not a Grim Reaper, who passively collects those whose time has come, but a henchman, an executioner, one who was chosen and cursed to fulfill that which death has dreamt for us all. The Fourth Horseman, if you will, but death has had many names. In the book, Selena speaks briefly to the legions that live in the shadows: the vampires, werewolves, angels, demons, and all manner of necromancers who speak to us in whispers from dark places, and it’s the idea of the Hidden Ones that has inspired countless words written in their honor. From Greek Mythology to The Book of the Dead to The Bible, from Ovid to Homer to Dante to Poe, many a modern monster has been born from those inspiring texts. Selena, along with her particular poetry and romanticism, was fashioned from the fire in those texts as well, and I suppose, Logos is a mash-up of sorts, a historical homage to those texts and their creators. Homage to the Gothic Fiction I read as a child. To the Poetry. To the Romance. To that beautiful, stunning, dark.
