About the Book

A novella.

An elderly priest on his deathbed with a dark confession entangles his young protege in his tale of a dark, mysterious woman. And a promise.

Father Robert is a legend to a young scholar just out of seminary. So Tom is delighted when he is placed there under Father Robert's tutelage. However, Father Robert is not well. On his deathbed he requests Tom to be by his side. He has a tale to tell. A story so far-fetched it couldn't possibly be true. The story of Father Robert's meetings with the real-life Lilith, and hearing her side of the story of Creation, Adam, and a dark, disturbing secret that did not make it into the Bible. As Tom grapples with the imminent demise of his mentor, he must also ask himself who Father Robert really is. And why he chose Tom to reveal his secrets to.
