Aided by the enigmatic Preacher Spindrift, Sawyer must not only solve the murder but also confront and defeat the hideous Sha-aneer or ‘worm of the deep earth’, an ancient creature that devours the flesh and the souls of the Eden-born – mankind itself.
A fallen angel, a beautiful spirit woman and a brave resourceful man must unite forces to save the town or the whole world will fall to the Sha-aneer, and the light of human civilisation will be extinguished forever.
