Immortal Storm
(2019)Roderick Chronicles
(Book 12 in the Cursed Immortals series)
A novel by Aiden James
In the spring of 2022, Roderick Cooley and his immortal companions brace for a new challenge to the world's restored peace. The chaos inspired by Krontos Lazarevic, along with the political upheaval in America and elsewhere, have all subsided. But an ancient menace that was widely believed to have died in 1912 has now reappeared with a vengeance.
Zoa Promaji, a demonic horde of nearly six-hundred entities, had long been credited for some of the worst calamities to strike mankind during the past two-thousand years. Instigating disasters ranging from weather and seismic events to plagues responsible for the eventual deaths of millions of people mercifully came to an end when the demons guided an iceberg field into the path of the RMS Titanic. The horde in its entirety was believed to have perished in their attempt to murder their beleaguered sorcerer, Matija Badnjak, a passenger aboard the ill-fated ocean liner.
But in recent years, the wicked entities that sank long ago with the mighty ship have been given new life by an unsuspecting treasure hunter. As a result, Zoa Promaji has reemerged in the modern world, thirsty for revenge after being imprisoned in the Atlantic's cold dark depths for more than a century. The demons seek to kill as many people as possible by combining storm systems, pulling magma to the earth's outer crust, and by invigorating diseases that had long been dormant. The effort to terrorize the Earth begins in America, using a forgotten blood coin that once belonged to Judas Iscariot and the natural gifts and experiences of David Fulmer--the treasure hunter turned sorcerer after Zoa Promaji took possession of the middle-aged widower's body and soul.
Roderick and the gang soon discover that these adversaries are far more powerful than anything or anyone they've ever encountered. Engaging the entities and their latest sorcerer head-on comes with a personal price. But with the fate of the world's citizens hanging in the balance, there isn't any other choice than to risk their lives for the greater good.
The outcome and more awaits discovery in Immortal Storm....
Acclaim for Aiden James:
"Aiden James has written a deeply psychological, gripping tale that keeps the readers hooked from page one." Bookfinds review for "The Forgotten Eden"
"A variety of twists, surprises, and subplots keep the story moving forward at a good pace. My interest was piqued almost immediately and my attention never wavered as I forced my eyes to stay open well into the night. (Sleep is overrated.) Aiden James is a Master Storyteller, whose career is on the rise! Out-freaking-standing-excellent!" Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews, for "Immortal Plague"
"Aiden James' writing style flows very easily and I found that Cades Cove snowballed into a very gripping tale. Clearly the strengths in the piece were as the spirit's interaction became prevalent with the family.... The Indian lore and ceremonies and the flashbacks to Allie Mae's (earthly) demise were very powerful. I think those aspects separated the work from what we've seen before in horror and ghost tales." Evelyn Klebert, Author of "A Ghost of a Chance", "Dragonflies", and "An Uneasy Traveler" for "Cades Cove"
"The intense writing style of Aiden James kept my eyes glued to the story and the pages seemed to fly by at warp speed.... Twists, turns, and surprises pop up at random times to keep the reader off balance. It all blends together to create one of the best stories I have read all year." Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews, for "The Devil's Paradise"
"Aiden James is insanely talented! We are watching a master at work....Ghost stories don't get any better than this."J.R. Rain, Author of "Moon Dance' and "Vampire Moon" for "The Raven Mocker"
