Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What if the greatest mystery wasn't the wings... but the people who saw them?

Robert Wells is an ordinary young man living an unremarkable life when a pair of white angel wings suddenly erupts from his back.

The world explodes.

Scientists race to explain the impossible. Religious leaders proclaim miracles. Others denounce him as a servant of evil. Governments, journalists, psychologists, philosophers, atheists, and believers all struggle to answer the same question: What is Robert Wells?

Then everything changes.

The wings disappear.

Horns emerge.

A second set of wings begins to grow.

As humanity projects its deepest fears, hopes, beliefs, and prejudices onto one bewildered young man, Robert finds himself drawn into conversations with scientists, priests, skeptics, philosophers, and strangers whose questions slowly become his own.

What begins as a supernatural mystery gradually becomes something far more unsettling-a journey into identity, consciousness, compassion, and the invisible divisions that separate human beings from one another.

Inspired in part by the ancient Gnostic concept of Abraxas-the symbolic union of apparent opposites-this thought-provoking novel blends speculative fiction, philosophy, psychology, and spiritual inquiry into a story that asks far more questions than it answers.

ABRAXAS is not a novel about angels or demons.

It is a novel about us.
