A former soldier turned priest and son of an acclaimed exorcist; he struggles to find work. Living life under his father’s shadow is taking its toll on him.
He needs money to survive, but with few viable prospects, his chances aren’t looking good.
Father Zachariah, a religious zealot, separated St. Agatha’s Church from the church body and reestablished a new physical church in the middle of Texas.
His return from a mission trip in Brazil raises questions.
The once beloved priest is a shadow of his former self and is believed to have gone mad. Despite his bizarre behavior, he’s amassed a huge following and has taken his evangelism to the airwaves. People have flocked to The Foundation. His captive audience has even gathered an elite group of believers who spend time at the compound.
When the congregation draws attention for all the wrong reasons, the Church dispatches Noah to investigate and report back on the validity of the rumors. Soon, Noah finds himself ensnared in what could be the greatest hoax the world has ever seen…or the location for the final showdown between God and the devil himself.
Will Noah uncover the horrifying secrets and expose the truth, or will the congregation’s unwavering and deadly loyalty stop him in his tracks?

David Viergutz is a disabled Army veteran, law enforcement veteran, a husband and proud father. He's also a storyteller, an author of horror and thriller novels.
As a teenager, David would often be found dragging a backpack full of books to class, leaving his textbooks behind. He was always captivated by the worlds that authors like Nix, Tolkien, King and Patterson created, and he dreamed of one day creating his own. Years went by and David found himself serving his country in the military, and later in law enforcement. The experiences he had during those years were both thrilling and terrifying, and they left a deep impression on him. David always talked about writing a book, and one day his wife sat him down and gave him the confidence he needed to start putting his imagination on paper. From then on, his creativity knew no bounds and he poured his heart and soul into his writing.
Now, David weaves tales of pulse-pounding realism and nightmare-inducing horror where his years in uniform have given him an unparalleled edge into crafting characters who come alive on the page. — and sometimes die there too. David holds an MFA in Creative Writing and moonlights as a staff writer at Indie Author Magazine.
