Thief of Souls
by
Dan Behr is an ordinary guy - a young architect and family man - who thinks himself lucky beyond belief that as beautiful a woman as Alexandra could be his wife, and that they could have so perfect a little girl as six-year-old Hana. But Dan Behr's luck is about to change. It begins when Alexandra goes to a weekend retreat with a seemingly harmless spiritual group whose meetings she has been casually attending. Only this time she does not come back. When Dan tries to find his wife, he can neither penetrate the group's premises nor break through the legal barriers they have erected around their activities. Devastated and obsessed by the mystery of Alexandra's disappearance, Dan struggles to hold his life together and raise his daughter. Things cannot get worse - but they do. As he peels back the secret layers of his wife's past, the cult reaches out to complete its destruction of Dan's world by abducting little Hana and making her one of its own. Dan Behr is no longer an ordinary guy. He will do and risk anything to save his child, even if it means entering the cult's fortified compound alone and unarmed. Even if it means laying himself open to the spell cast by the mesmerizing leader who has enslaved the minds of so many followers. But as he descends into a nightmare world of spiritual corruption, sexual seduction, and paralyzing fear, Dan Behr discovers that before he can save his daughter, he must first save himself.
