Rising Dark Intrigues — Christopher Allan

Father Andrew Drolek lives in the present day with a foreboding past that consists of crippling knowledge and fractured truths. More so, he has encountered unholy experiences stemming from a quieted murder within the overseas seminary he attended. He witnessed the expulsion of a classmate named Ridley Isaac Preston, whose behavior was unnerving. This all started when gleeful madness and dark fixation set in over a grave in The Edmonick Chapel of St. John within St. George's Seminary. Andrew observed Ridley being driven out of his mind by one specific voice calling out to him. It was leading him to the truth about the quieted murder. Older clergymen on the faculty ordered Andrew not to interfere or he would find his own ordination to priesthood jeopardized. Ridley may have been expelled from the seminary but this did not stop him from returning and concocting a blasphemous vampire curse on himself. â€"He chose his own damnation with ease and cleverness with the use of a pocket mirror to be the frightening source of his immortality. Father Andrew fled the seminary to his American assignment believing that he would be safe, but the pocket mirror had been slipped to him like a prophecy. Ten years now have passed and Ridley's untimely plan of return involves dueling timelines, unorthodox struggles between immortal and eternal, so he can establish that salvation is unquestionably defined by the damnation of the undead.
