Sinopse

In "Under Padlock and Seal," Harold Avery delivers a gripping exploration of systemic injustice and personal integrity through a narrative steeped in psychological tension and rich character development. Set against the backdrop of a dystopian society where surveillance and repression dictate everyday life, Avery's prose employs a blend of stark realism and poignant symbolism, inviting readers to reflect on the implications of authoritarian control. The intertwining of personal and political narratives not only heightens the emotional resonance of the story but also situates it within contemporary literary discourses on freedom, identity, and the human spirit's resilience. Harold Avery, known for his keen social observations and mastery in portraying complex characters, draws upon his background in sociology and personal experiences with oppressive systems to craft this narrative. His previous works have similarly grappled with themes of morality, choice, and human dynamics, informing the depth and authenticity present in "Under Padlock and Seal." Avery's commitment to revealing the often unseen struggles of individuals against institutional forces underscores his role as a voice for the marginalized. This compelling novel is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the nuances of human resilience in the face of oppression. Avery invites you into a world that, while fictional, resonates deeply with our realities, making it a thought-provoking addition to the modern literary canon.

    Remy is a tour guide for the notoriously haunted Carrow House. The old place is a haunt for the superstitious, but Remy hasn't seen any proof of the paranormal yet. So when she's asked to host guests for a week-long stay in order to research Carrow's phenomena, she hopes to finally experience some of the sightings that made the house famous. 
    At first, it's everything they hoped for. Then a storm moves in, cutting off their contact with the outside world, and things quickly take a sinister turn. Doors open on their own. Séances go disastrously wrong. Their spirit medium wanders through the house at night, seemingly in a trance. But it isn't until one of the guests dies under strange circumstances that Remy is forced to consider the possibility that the ghost of the house's original owner―a twisted serial killer―still walks the halls. 
    And by then it's too late to escape…

    Who were the sons of God? Who were the Nephilim? Where do angels fit into the supernatural hierarchy? Why did God find it necessary to have the Israelites destroy the populations of entire cities man, woman, and child? What relation does Jesus bear to the rest of the supernatural world?  In Supernatural, Michael Heiser, tackles these questions and many more, based on his fifteen years of research into what the Bible really says about the unseen world. Heiser shines a light on the supernatural world—not a new light, but rather the same light the original, ancient readers and writers of Scripture would have seen it in.  You may never read the Bible the same way again.
