The Ritual (Book 2)

Paradise Montoyier is a young, but powerful Adept (mystic) from New Orleans, who has been chosen. The US government - led by its newly appointed National Director of Intelligence, Virginia Gregory - has chosen Paradise as her secret weapon. Her goal? To 'Make America Great Again' by securing Paradise and exploiting her set of supernatural skills. Though young, the gifted spiritualist has no intention of using her paranormal abilities to train, or to aid the magic managers of National Director Gregory's pet black ops unit - the ruthless U.S. Department of Occult Acquisition. What Paradise doesn't know is how far the National Director is willing to go to make use of her esoteric knowledge and talents. On a planet with extraterrestrial origins and in a world besieged in turmoil, Le Vingt Premier Juin, a secret society of mystics has also chosen Paradise. In what may be their last ditch effort to restore balance, they seek to put her on the throne governing humanity. Why? Because Paradise is the group's - and, mankind's - last hope for salvation. They are looking to her for guidance since she alone has the power to invoke THE RITUAL - How to Survive the Apocalypse.
