New Orleans was nearly the death of Jeremiah Hunt, between a too-close brush with the FBI and a chilling, soul-searing journey through the realm of the dead that culminated with a do-or-die confrontation with Death himself. Hunt survived, but found no peace. When he performs an arcane ritual to reclaim the soul of the magically gifted, beautiful women who once saved him, he must flee the law once again, to the temporary sanctuary of Los Angeles, city of angels. In L.A., Hunt must contend with Carlos Fuentes, who sees in the blind exorcist a means to obtain the mystical key that opens the gates of Hell. Fuentes knows Hunt's weakness is his loyalty, both to the woman he loves and to another supernaturally gifted friend, and threatens to torture them in order to get Hunt help complete his dreadful quest. Hunt has learned a lot since his life was irrevocably hijacked by faith months ago. But when enigmatic Preacher calls in his marker for helping Hunt in New Orleans, Hunt knows that all his newfound experience and ability will go for naught unless he can keep both the Preacher and Fuentes at bay long enough to somehow find a way to free his friends from mortal peril.
Jeremiah Hunt's attempt to reclaim a lost soul plunges him into a desperate flight from the law and a deadly game of supernatural chess in Los Angeles.
Having survived a harrowing encounter with Death himself in New Orleans, Jeremiah Hunt finds no respite. His arcane ritual to save a beloved woman backfires, forcing him to flee to Los Angeles. There, he becomes the target of Carlos Fuentes, a dangerous occultist seeking the key to Hell's gates, who exploits Hunt's loyalty to his friends as leverage. Hunt must navigate this treacherous new landscape, balancing his quest to save his loved ones with the demands of an enigmatic Preacher who has called in a favor, all while evading both earthly and infernal pursuers.
The premise sets up a high-stakes supernatural thriller with a protagonist burdened by past traumas and a desperate mission. The narrative appears to focus on Hunt's struggle against powerful antagonists and his own moral quandaries, blending elements of urban fantasy with horror. The inclusion of multiple factions and supernatural forces suggests a complex plot with escalating danger. The story's progression likely involves Hunt utilizing his unique abilities and hard-won experience to outwit his enemies and protect those he cares about.
