The Dead Earl Scrolls (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998549229)

The Dead Earl Scrolls is an expansive historical fantasy that weaves together themes of love, loyalty, good versus evil, redemption, and reconciliation. At the heart of the narrative is the remarkable story of Earl Brown, an ordinary American bootlegger from the early 20th century, and his resolutely courageous wife, Hazel. Their story is grounded in the realities of human history, with each character and event derived from real-life inspiration. Yet, the tale boldly ventures beyond the ordinary, delving into realms where the boundaries between mortal, spiritual, and mythological planes become indistinguishable. Earl and Hazel, along with those they encounter, are defined by their internal conflicts, confronting moral dilemmas, contending with personal and real-life demons, and seeking redemption despite their flaws.
When Earl dies, his journey is far from over. His Life Scrolls, the sacred record of his existence, are stolen by a legion of demons intent on unraveling his life and those of his ancestors. The Scrolls become a dangerous map, setting the stage for a battle for Earl's soul and the integrity of a 700-year ancestral legacy. With this theft, an unthinkable danger unfurls: a history rewritten, families erased, destinies undone. Earl's only hope lies in a desperate voyage through time, which thrusts him into the heart of late 13th-century Scotland, a land steeped in the blood and valor of the war for independence. Guided by celestial beings and aided by mythical creatures, Earl must traverse this perilous medieval landscape, fighting to reclaim his Life Scrolls and restore the tangled threads of his ancestral timeline. Along the way, he confronts the weight of his family's history, tragedies, and triumphs, while battling an unrelenting legion of demons bent on his destruction. Meanwhile, Hazel, fierce and unwavering even in her grief, embarks on her own perilous mission. Determined to bring her husband back, she makes bold bargains with shadowy, dangerous forces, risking her soul. Her journey is one of peril and sacrifice, a testament to the enduring power of love even in the face of impossible odds.
As their paths converge across time and planes of existence, The Dead Earl Scrolls takes readers on an unforgettable adventure-an epic tale where history and fantasy collide, love and loyalty are tested, and one man's battle to reclaim his life becomes a timeless fight for redemption. For readers who prefer character-driven narratives with substantial emotional depth, The Dead Earl Scrolls provides a remarkable exploration of time, history, and the complexities of the human heart. It is intended for adult readers, especially those interested in historical fantasy, the possibilities of time travel, and spiritual themes. Adventure seekers and history enthusiasts will find themselves immersed in a narrative that spans the eras and cultures of Scotland, England, and Utah, depicted with vivid and intricate detail.
