Before God created the earth as we know it, the planet was home to a race of monsters. In order to prepare for humans, He either banished or killed most of these native creatures. Those who remain in exile have not forgotten. One ancient tale encourages their vengeance, speaking of an angel with the power to wipe out a quarter of the world's population. Together, the old ones form a plot to catch this being and use him to reassert their reign.But not every prophecy is a promise. Down in coastal Florida, a handful of unwilling heroes is preparing to intervene. One of these sits frozen in stone, mistaken for a statue and abandoned in a courtyard for several years. Though Nia finds it difficult to believe, that strange prison was her sanctuary - a cocoon that transformed and protected her until her story could truly begin."Fathom" is an unapologetic mix of horror and urban fantasy that will appeal to fans of both genres. The book is a sexy biblical monster story that will enthral readers who appreciate a good fairy tale with an unusual point of view.
