Being shaken awake was the veil-lifting initiation. Spinning out and plunging deep into the other side's dark abyss was the test. Stumbling back through full circle to reality was not the end, but another beginning. A present-day mystical memoir of mythical proportion, Duke Johnson details his first person account of illumination to the dark side of life. The harrowing psychological voyage is enough to make any reader's heart skip a beat when trudging through the hellish underworld of Hollywood's underbelly. The dramatic depiction of an intense awakening process, along with the guidebook Augury by the same author, may be invaluable tools to those yet to embark on their journey, and priceless to those who've already crossed the first threshold. With lights at both ends of the tunnel, this unique perspective brightens the ancient path for anyone who wanders into the spirit realm. No hero's journey is complete without the ultimate boon, and Duke's gifts to humanity possess transformative potential for peace and purpose, both for society at large, and individual spiritual seekers.

In a small town, an ancient darkness has been awoken to finish what they started many millennia ago. Now, the fate of humanity is in the hands of One, but can he overcome the forces that dare to challenge the bloodline of the Gods? Alex is an ordinary Aussie bloke, chosen by an ancient prophecy to stand against the oncoming darkness. As he battles demons, zombies, and the Gods of the underworld, he will also have to fight his own inner demons that torment his mind. From out of the darkness, a sinister force will stand, and Alex will learn the truth of who he is, or die in the process of keeping the truth secret. Rise Of The Darkness is the first book of The Chosen series, and is currently in pre-production for a feature film, to be shot entirely in Australia.
