Fury in Trance

About the Book

During a strange spiritual rite for those seeking enlightenment, Leevon loses sight of his pregnant wife. The rite becomes chaotic. People pour into the small space of worship, and insanity ensues. Eventually, amidst the anarchy, Leevon finds his wife. Although she is dead, she has given birth to a child—a child who weeps in the darkness of a new world. The loss of his wife catapults Leevon into a mysterious state of fury. His eyes turn red, and he actually injures his own offspring. His strange behavior lands him in a mental institution, where he cries out to God for answers. Good and bad guards surround him, aware of his strange behavioral changes and become good at keeping their distance. However, as Leevon slips in and out of madness, it seems he is pulling the guards into whatever is happening to his mind. The world becomes confusing, dark, and frightening, and Leevon yearns for his lost child. Meanwhile, his captors yearn for the anecdote to his illness, which seems to creep around them like an air-born disease. Will Leevon learn to navigate the mystery that is his fury, or will he be lost, along with those around him?
