The Crimson Solstice

A Father Thomas O'Neill Christmas Thriller

By: K.R.M. Morgan

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A RENEGADE EXORCIST. A POSSESSED MERCEDES. AND THE ULTIMATE WAR FOR CHRISTMAS.

From the author of The Bones of the Mother comes a high-octane holiday thriller that breaks every rule in the Vatican rulebook.

Father Thomas O’Neill is not a typical priest. He smokes Turkish Royals to hide the scent of sulfur, drives a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 fueled by the Wrath of God, and shares his body with Hanbi, a sarcastic Sumerian Archdevil.

Thomas doesn't do "Peace on Earth." He does exorcisms.

But when a Code Alpha threat triggers the Vatican’s early warning systems deep within the Arctic Circle, Thomas is deployed to the frozen north. Satellite imaging shows a massive heat bloom in Norway. Intelligence reports a mobilized army of thousands, moving with hive-mind precision, dressed in the color of blood and martyrdom.

Hanbi is terrified. The demon claims it is the return of the "Crimson Legion," an ancient force that enslaves souls with a weaponized frequency of joy.

Armed with a shotgun loaded with rock salt, a sixty-pound ginger battle-cat named Ezekiel, and a demon screaming in his head, Thomas prepares to hold the line against the Apocalypse.

He expects a war against darkness.
He expects to die in the snow.

What he finds inside the hollowed-out mountain is far more dangerous. It is an industry of belief, a siege engine built of brass and magic, and a General who has been waiting two thousand years for a driver crazy enough to outrun the Devil.

This Christmas, the only thing standing between humanity and total spiritual collapse is a priest who has lost his faith, and a Saint who is ready to give him a jump start.
