Owen was a normal high school student with a great life. He had a beautiful girlfriend, played on the football team, and was surrounded by a group of great friends. That is, until he found a well on some abandoned land, and a man who offered him a drink of water that changed his life forever.

Suddenly, Owen is seeing things that no one else sees: Shackles and chains that bind his family and friends, terrifying creatures that connect themselves to the cuffs attached at the end of the chains, and angelic beings who seem to have a power that even the demons cannot withstand.

Do the things Owen is seeing have anything to do with the suicide epidemic currently threatening to destroy his high school? How can this young man with no faith in the supernatural suddenly see invisible forces of terror provoking his fellow students demise?

Similar to Frank Perrettis This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness, The Delusion explores spiritual warfare in a fresh way, reminding us that We All Have Our Demons.

By March of Owen Edmonds’s senior year, eleven students at Masonville High School have committed suicide. Amid the media frenzy and chaos, Owen tries to remain levelheaded-until he endures his own near-death experience and wakes to a distressing new reality.

The people around him suddenly appear to be shackled and enslaved.

Owen frantically seeks a cure for what he thinks are crazed hallucinations, but his delusions become even more sinister. An army of hideous, towering beings, unseen by anyone but Owen, are preying on his girlfriend and classmates, provoking them to self-destruction.

Owen eventually arrives at a mind-bending conclusion: he’s not imagining the evil-everyone else is blind to its reality. He must warn and rescue those he loves . . . but this proves to be no simple mission. Will he be able to convince anyone to believe him before it’s too late?

Owen’s heart-pounding journey through truth and delusion will force him to reconsider everything he believes. He both longs for and fears the answers to questions that are quickly becoming too dangerous to ignore.

The battle for Masonville is not over.
Mysterious disappearances plague the once-serene town, and Owen’s understanding of his spiritual sight is tested as he tries to discern what is truth and what is a lie woven by Molek and his army of Creepers.

Eleven months after the Masonville High shooting, the school and town still bear scars from the horrific attack. Owen Edmonds has just begun to pick up the pieces of his life when people start vanishing from Masonville and his spiritual sight undergoes some disturbing changes. He’s convinced that the mysterious occurrences must be related, but how? Desperate for wisdom and a way forward, Owen thinks his prayers have been answered through the appearance of not one, but two new advisors. But when his mentors start giving contradictory advice, who should Owen trust? Where can he turn when everything he’s ever relied on begins to fail? Owen must face the fact that the spiritual attack on the town has not ended: Molek and his army of Creepers are simply mounting an assault on a different front.

Four months after the deadly overlord Molek has been banished beyond the city limits of Masonville, Texas, Owen Edmonds’s crucial mission to save lives escalates when seven Cosmic Rulers of darkness close in to decimate his town-and nation. As the battle between good and evil culminates in an epic standoff, Owen and his girlfriend, Ray Anne, must make the decision of a lifetime: will they face their fears or run? The Defiance is the third book in the Delusion series.
