The Sword of Michael

Book One in a new hard-hitting contemporary fantasy saga.

Marius Winter doesn’t walk the road of the shaman-warrior alone. He has powerful allies in the Other Realms and in ordinary reality. His spirit guides are a Lakota war-chief and medicine man, First In Front; Tigre, a powerful feminine spirit who appears as a white tiger; and Burt, a spirit raven who channels an old Jewish bookie from the Bronx.

Now Marius is targeted by a powerful sorcerer. In the battle for the souls of his friends and lover, he must storm the gates of the underworld and fight through the Seven Demi-Demons of Hell to the deepest dungeons to confront Belial himself.

"Marcus Wynne's newest page-turner—his best to date—rips the veil off of our everyday perceptions to reveal the eternal battle between good and evil that takes place around us and, yes, within us. Labeled as fiction, THE SWORD OF MICHAEL is very real, a story where even Humanists and Theists can find common and exciting ground and which features a New Age shaman exorcist who hopefully has a real world model. If he doesn't, we are all in deep trouble. —"Joseph Hartlaub, Senior reviewer, BOOKREPORTER.COM

Sword of Michael provides a modern urban backdrop for a story that is as powerful as it is personal."—Senior Training NCO, John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center, SERE Cadre, Fort Bragg
