Monarch Mystery Series

1991

In Monarch, Wyoming, mysterious disappearances and dark secrets abound.

Elias Blackstone, an orphaned and tormented teen, is simply trying to survive, unaware of the danger lurking in the sleepy city.

Dr. Viktor Corvinus, a model citizen and influential member of Monarch's social elite, has hidden his diabolical aspirations for years. Now Lucifer has declared war on all that is good and orders Dr. Corvinus to find a stone called The Devil's Pearl.

Through dreams, Elias is teleported to a hellish world known as the Dark Realm, created by the evil doctor to torture and destroy his enemies. Elias is granted special powers to free those who suffer there and annihilate the Dark Realm.

In the real world, Elias and his two best friends, Jess and Charlie, witness the gentle Bobby Novack shapeshift violently into a demon, then commit a heinous murder. With the help of Professor Quincy and Millie, the white witch, they discover that the evil Dr. Corvinus controls the Shapeshifter and uses it to search for the Devil's Pearl, which, if found, would unleash Hell on Earth.

Can Elias and his friends find the stone before Dr. Corvinus? Can they save Bobby from the demon within? Can Elias save those trapped in the Dark Realm and destroy it before it's too late?

The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
