Sorceress of psychological suspense, Ninie Hammon, brings you the first book in The Knowing Saga, a sprawling tale of spiritual warfare that spans a quarter of a century. If you crave sleep-with-the-lights-on suspense coupled with characters so true they'll feel like family, The Knowing will open a world you won't want to believe is real. But it is.

It starts with a school shooting...

It ends with the return of an evil as ancient as the bones of the universe.

When the hot call comes over the radio: "Code Red! Active shooter at Carlisle Elementary School," Police Sergeant Jack Carpenter has only one job: find the gunman; take him out. Carpenter rushes into the school, fully armed and focused on cold, hard reality. But what happens to him there shatters the world as he knew it. And in the next three days, everything Jack Carpenter believes about himself, about reality, about good and evil and the whole nature of the universe will be challenged.

Can it possibly be true-seriously?-that invisible demons prowl among us?

That a winged creature more horrifying than any Hollywood-animated, computer-generated, mechanical unreality, exist?

And that the single-minded mission of the beast-a creation of absolute, soul-less evil-is to kill Jack Carpenter?

That's crazy! Fairy-tale-science-fiction-horror-movie-bogeyman crap!

Bottom line: it flat-out cannot possibly be true.

But it is.

Award-winning journalist and suspense author Ninie Hammon has created a terrifyingly real world where the people fighting to defeat invisible monsters from the bowels of hell are folks you might bump carts with in the grocery store. People so ordinary, in fact, that when the unexplainable rips apart their lives, when demons destroy their reputations and attack their children, you begin to wonder if the same thing could happen to you, too.

?If you enjoy a fast-paced, suspense-filled story so gripping you'll decide the dirty dishes aren't going anywhere and the car will survive one more day without an oil change, The Knowing is the book for you.
