Essence — Christopher Merlino

“What would you say if I told you that you could become more powerful than any human being that has ever existed?”He should have laughed at that. He should have walked away, or run. He should have written the guy off as crazy. But he didn't.Nicholas Scarlatti didn't ask for any of it. He is not the type to get involved. But a snap decision opens his eyes to a new reality...a supernatural reality...one that has always existed but few in this life ever get to see, much less enter. Nicholas finds himself at the center of an ageless war, a target of forces he thought only existed in myth and fantasy. Now, Nicholas must find a way to survive his growing list of enemies. He must figure out who he can trust in a world where human morality means nothing and the lines between religion, myth, and fantasy, no longer exist.
