When one assignment turns out to be more than she can chew, Athena's job as a journalist may very well lead to her own undoing.

Tree branches loom over Athena, casting dark shadows on the path toward the infamous Sarton Asylum. Then and there she gets a bad feeling about the place, but a job is a job.

She needs the money and her morbid curiosity always gets the best of her.

As soon as she nears the asylum's doors, her hand shakes. A signal for what's to come perhaps? Or just her nerves?

Regardless, it doesn't take a believer to convince Athena that taking this assignment is a mistake. Slowly, she uncovers the stomach-churning horrors that were inflicted upon Sarton's residents.

"Wh? would ?n??n? do ?n? of these experiments, e??????ll? on ?h?ldr?n? H?w did ?n? ?f that get ???r?v?d b? ?n? d??t?r?", she thinks to herself. Now, all she wants to do is head back home to her brother, Derek, and her dog, Ginger.

But her thoughts get interrupted by a disturbing presence.

In all her years as a journalist investigating haunted buildings, nothing like this has ever happened to her. None of those buildings were ever haunted. They were all shams, for the lack of a better word.

Unfortunately for Athena - this time - the Sarton Asylum could very well be the last assignment she'll ever have to take.

Enter a world of terror and chaos where victims are left helpless and tortured beyond their understanding in the gripping paranormal novel, "Athena".

Will they find a way to survive, or will they succumb to the horrors that lie ahead?
