A Story of Faith, Manipulation, and a Family's Survival
A prophet without his memory. A granddaughter who escaped his grasp. A truth that could destroy everything.
The Agape Fellowship started as a dream to return to the purity of the early church. But for Alistair McMahon, the “prophet” at its head, the dream became a self-made trap.
When Alistair awakens from a three-week coma, the world he knows has collapsed. His beloved granddaughter, Audrey, has fled in the night, and the careful life he built is falling apart. As his memory slowly returns in dark, sudden flashes, he realizes the “Law of Love” he created to justify his sins was a cage for everyone except himself.
