An eloquently written epic sure to please.

Some Senses, leads with a beautiful compilation of poetry that transitions into a deeply layered novelette; in which, Lucien raises an army to save his wife from the clutch of his long ago friend, Balenquist. He sacrifices much to take back what is rightfully his. Balenquist, who is still blinded with jealousy and hate, is bound with the chains of hell and must find his way out of the perpetual prison of sin. In order to be released from the restraints affixed his soul, he must face his greatest challenge. He must conquer and write a name upon his fear. Will Balenquist be able to let go of his delusion? Or, will he be consumed by the all-encompassing fire?
