Publisher's Synopsis
At thirty-two, a man's life is brought to a close by a concoction of fentanyl-laced Percocet.
As his life ends, an extraordinary spiritual voyage begins - sparked by a burning quest to unravel the circumstances of his untimely end.
Samuel's spirit is welcomed into the ethereal realm by his sage-like grandfather in a mesmerizing first act. Together, they embark on a soul-searching journey through the echoes of his past, delving into the exquisite joy and poignant struggles that sculpted his destiny.
In the second act, Samuel's celestial clan seeks his assistance to liberate his great-great-grandfather from the clutches of the rasha, a formidable, soulless entity. Samuel's mission plunges him into the dangerous landscapes of Gehenna's five realms, a purgatorial underworld. Here, he is forced to face the repercussions of his past, undergoing a cathartic purification process that radically transforms his spirit.
The climax unfolds in the third act with Samuel's breathtaking voyage across the seven celestial spheres. Here, he encounters a congregation of divine beings-angels, archangels, and ethereal fairies-who share with him profound wisdom, revealing the cosmos' well-guarded secrets. This wisdom enables Samuel to confront and reconcile his karmic debts, discovering his true life's mission.
"Between Two Gates" is a compelling story of the spiritual realms, as Samuel uncovers the enigma of existence, from his mortal demise to a rebirth of understanding. The extraordinary potential of the human spirit is explored, and the enduring connections that love brings to transcend mortality.
