In Book II of S.O.L.A.D.™: Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™, Chapter 11—The Wages of Sin—we see this truth exposed in vivid, unsettling detail. What begins as a confrontation with a single demonic adversary escalates into something far more revealing: a system of bondage, working in unison, feeding off shared purpose and shared destruction.

In Book I of S.O.L.A.D.™: Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™, Angelo faces this kind of moment. After a brutal confrontation with the demon No Mercy, aided by Melanie, Angelo is already broken—bloodied, breathless, and running on fumes. But the enemy doesn’t care that you’re tired. Darkness doesn’t wait until you’re ready. And sometimes, your healing hasn’t even started before the next fight comes.

Let me be real with you: it was stressful, uncertain, and at times, downright exhausting. There were moments I didn’t know how the bills would get paid. Nights I sat with questions bigger than my answers. Weeks where discouragement screamed—but God’s whisper still cut through.
