About this ebook
If there is a way into madness, logic says there is a way out. Logic says. Tallis, a philosopher's servant, is sent to a Greek academy in Palestine only to discover that it has silently, ominously, disappeared. No one will tell him what happened, but he learns what has become of four of its scholars. One was murdered. One committed suicide. One worships in the temple of Dionysus. And one . . . one is a madman.
From Christy Award–winning author Tracy Groot comes a tale of mystery, horror, and hope in the midst of unimaginable darkness: the story behind the Gerasene demoniac of the Gospels of Mark and Luke.

interesting. thought provoking. it's not your average biblical fiction romance. it is gritty and dark at points like life can be. shows the futility or limit of knowledge (and perhaps human love) withOUT Truth\Wisdom\God. it is not for the faint at heart (hard to read at parts with hard imagery) and maybe a little too much focus on evil and not enough pages dedicated to the solution. but I suppose the former makes the solution that much sweeter as it would be for the madman and his family.
