The Loura Lure – Book 2

Dr. Shamus Bergin and his former patient Erladoch Dunbar have leapt into a time portal hurtling them backwards 20,000 years to Loura, a time and place erased from history. Before the seas rose up to separate Ireland and the British Isles from the rest of Europe, the Kingdoms of Loura thrived in peace.

Much has changed since Erladoch’s departure four years earlier. Enilorac, the Evil King of Treborg has already begun his invasion. He has come looking for the last Angel’s Itavo stone. If found, Enilorac will use it to open the gates of Hell and usher in the end of times.

Having accepted that his parents were descended from the Sacred Order of Keepers, Shamus must find his place amongst this army of part-human, part-angel warriors in their struggle to repel the encroaching darkness. Can this man of science come to terms with a world filled with magic, or will he lose his sanity in the presence of so many emerging voices seeking to direct his Will? These voices, whispers from the past and echoes of future battles, threaten to overwhelm him.

Burdened with so much, the answers he seeks may lie in the hands of a woman he has never met. He doesn’t know her, but her call grows stronger in his mind with every passing danger. With the weight of obligation crushing down on him, he must have faith that his allegiances will hold and that not all paths laid before him will ultimately yield the same destiny.

The Deacon and the Shield

Eddy Riffle coexists with two identities—one that is filled with dark places created by the harshness of the Vietnam War and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The other is his life-long yearning for a Christian life with love, faith, and family. A hardened man, he will not allow himself to be treated for this conflict that rages within which has severely wounded his soul. For the individual, there is not much righteousness in war. To survive, things must be done without choice. They are hard to live with. And without public support and understanding, the soldier sometimes puts the blame on himself. With feelings of unworthiness, Eddy’s belief about his eternal home was tarnished and, thereby, a barrier to God was erected, too thick to break. It was during battle action that he was nicknamed by his fellow soldiers, “The Deacon.” His prayers before battles, his wisdom about questions concerning their anxiety, and his compassion for the wounded did not go unnoticed and earned him respect. Eddy Riffle’s story is about inherent darkness that was consumed while on the battlefield—to sickness of soul and abandonment of faith, to loss of love and self-esteem, to a struggle for recovery, to the discovery of a “shield” that, if trusted, would free him to become what he once envisioned. God works in mysterious ways as portrayed within this inspiring tale.
