RISE OF SHEDOAH: A HAND OF ADONAI NOVEL (BOOK 5)
by Aaron Gansky
Three worlds face destruction.
Only the Hand of Adonai can stop the coming evils.
Oliver and Lauren could not have dreamed they’d be magically transported into the fantasy video game they’d created. Neither could they have imagined that they, along with their friends, would be called upon to save not one, but three worlds. With the abominations defeated, new evils rise on the horizon—Dagon and Ontus, powerful beasts of destruction herald the coming of the scourge of the great dragon Shedoah. His coming has already tainted the minds of countless armies and spread disease and famine and flood across the land. But he will not stop until he has subjugated Alrujah, Myrassa, and even Earth to his will. Now, scattered across the worlds and weakened from unceasing battles, the Hand of Adonai must reunite to defeat the looming beasts that threaten the worlds before they can face the might of Shedoah.

Since she woke up in Alrujah, a digital world of her design, Lauren Knowles has been fighting for her life. And now, just when things seemed the bleakest, her best friend Oliver has vanished. Together with her sister Bailey Renee, Lauren must embark on another perilous journey to defend herself and save her friends. But the task is not easy, and the seals between the worlds weaken. When Aiden and Lauren find themselves back home, they must make a life-changing decision: stay where it’s safe or return to Alrujah to protect the people from evil and hope to bring their other friends home. Erica, too, finds herself back in North Chester, a terrifying prospect for her, and face to face with the father who burned her hands. All Alrujah darkens under the shadows of three terrifying abominations, all of which must be defeated if the teens ever want to get back home for good. But can they handle the Abominations when the Hand is scattered?
Shadow Singer is as beautiful as she is mysterious and savage. Despite her assurances that she means Oliver Shaw no harm, he has his doubts. After all, she did knock him out and kidnap him, taking him away from friends who desperately needed his help.
But when she takes him back to her homeworld of Myrassa, Oliver realizes the complications she’ll introduce to him are just the beginning. Like her, Myrassa is characterized by deep beauty and deeper savagery. With only this assassin as his guide, Oliver must navigate morally murky water and find a way to preserve his faith when confronted with incredible odds. Can he be the hero Myrassa needs, or will he lose himself in the bloody politics of a world governed by evil? And can he do it in time to return to Alrujah to defend his friends from the evils they face without him?
