It all began with a simple touch.

At the Battle of Nasiriyah, U.S. Marine Sergeant J. J. Stone's life flat out changed. Ducking enemy fire, he fell into a mortar crater and stumbled across an artifact. Curious, Stone touched it. Big mistake, for the soul of a Sumerian took possession of him. Fortunately, this ancient soul was on a worthy quest–to find his wife's remains.

As if that weren't enough, Stone didn't know his importance to the cosmic order, until told by an emissary of a primordial being. Stone learns that he carries the First Soul of Creation, has mind-blowing potential, but age-old responsibilities–many of them quite formidable. Stone, in essence, is a semi-divine being, warts and all. But don't tell him that to his face.

The First Soul, the first book of a new paranormal adventure series, chronicles the beginning of a Marine's personal journey of self-discovery in a mortal world that isn't quite what it seems–a vast and complex paranormal battleground where evil must be met head on, be it dark magic, demons, or those possessed by them.
