In "Reliquary for a Vampyr," Daniel Robbins has crafted a romantic journey of personal and spiritual growth, while gripping the reader in a suspenseful story of regular people pitted against paranormal events.
Meet Air Force LT. Louvenia Druchner, genius computer programmer, working on a top-secret project in an underground base inside NORAD. Haunted the by failures of her past, she is confused at her attraction to a severely scarred Army Ranger who acts as something of a spiritual mentor. Meanwhile, a holy reliquary, created by monks from a medieval monastery, is stolen by a rich man for his private collection. Unknown to its new owner, this box holds a demon of ancient evil. The same night the vampyr is reawakened in a small town in Arkansas, Lt. Druchner begins having dreams about a terrifying and powerful monster, making her the only one that is aware of the threat he poses.
But how can an introverted computer geek face-off with a being of such powerful evil and save the world? For that matter, how can anyone save themselves from a monster capable of taking their very soul?
