As long as mankind has existed he has been plagued by two questions, Where did I come from? and Where am I going? Anthropologists, geologists, astronomers, and archaeologists have been searching for an answer to the first question and have produced a lot of evidence to show where mankind came from and how long mankind has existed on planet Earth. Theology students have applied their own thinking on both these questions and claim to know the answers. This book takes an individual view and reaches a definite and alarming conclusion. The author lived with his family through the Second World War and after the end of the war went to an agricultural college and then spent many years as a farm worker where he came to the conclusion that life was not as we have been led to believe by the establishment. In the agricultural college, he studied the work of Gregor Mendel and the subject of genetics in all living things, animal, and plants of all kinds and reached the conclusion that the creator of all life on earth is the sun, which is responsible through its various light forms, infrared, ultraviolet, and other forms of lights that are not visible to mankind but can be seen by some species of animal that humans look down on and think of as low life.

I knew I'd never have the luxury of choosing my own wife. An arranged marriage was a sacrifice men in my position had to make for their families. It wasn't something I looked forward to, but it had to be done. I just never imagined my father would choose her to be my bride. Daniela Moretti, the daughter of my enemy...and I intended to treat her as such. But since the day she set foot in my house as my wife, my loathing of her turned into something deadlier than hate. Her strength intrigued me. Her fight seduced me. And I started seeing more in her than just dirty, filthy Moretti blood. Now...she's gone. Kidnapped. Vanished without a trace. But the devil always finds what's his, and when I do, my thirst for vengeance will be sated by blood.

The argument for my bail begins, and I lower my head until the doors behind me crash open with a thunderous roar. A vibration rushes through my body, I look up at the judge as his eyes widen and a cold silence takes hold of the room. It's him. I know it's him. It can be no other. Before I can turn I whisper his name and feel the energy of him blaze up my body as if the simple whisper of his name makes it true, makes him true. As hard as I fight my own curiosity I can't stop myself, with all the assuredness in my head I still have to prove it to my own eyes. Turning, I slowly raise my head up and look upon the three gentlemen, dressed in dark suits and letting the hoods of their coats fall back and reveal expressions of pure - desired annihilation. But it is he that stands center and strong that confirms my suspicions. It is he that has caused this silence and chocked the breath out of an entire room. It's as if the air could breathe and it breathes a trembling gasp of his name, with all that laid their eyes on this sight I see. Only I breathe his name and meet his eyes whispering ... "I knew you would come for me." Only God could save me from a certain deadly fate, and so rightfully, he sent the devil to rescue me. The sequel to The Devil's Eyes is action packed while still maintaining the same dark romance and suspenseful tone of the first novel.
