HowlSage is a modern-day spiritual warfare novel written for young teens. Readers familiar with Frank E. Peretti's works--in particular, his Veritas Project series for young adults--will find this book strongly reminiscent, while those familiar with the current TV show Grimm will recognize similarities to that show's premise as well--that what mankind has taken to be monsters, matters of legend, are based on something beyond legend. Grimm tells us that werewolves are an evolutionary branch--humans, but different, with their own culture and values and families. HowlSage tells us that they are demons, and must be defeated by the Blood of Christ, through prayer and courage (and a silver sword).The author makes great pains to warn readers in his preface that this is a work of fiction, but that spiritual realities undergird his story--as Christians we are in a battle of good vs. evil, demons vs. saints--and that faith and trust in Jesus, not brute strength or worldly knowledge, will give us the ability to fight them. Neither werewolves nor HowlSages are real, he says, but we must still be on our guard, because there is a real battle going on in unseen realms, and we are in the middle of it.But what is the book about?Meet Taylor, a fourteen-year-old demon hunter. His parents were demon hunters before him, and although he is young, it is time to begin fighting. A HowlSage has awakened, and Taylor must track it and kill it. Helping Taylor are his friend Ike, an eleven-year-old genius and inventor, and Taylor's guardians, Mr. and Mrs. Riley. Between them, they've got Taylor covered with a tracking system, jet-packs, a grappling gun, and all kinds of other devices--but none of them are hunters. It's up to Taylor to take on the HowlSage alone.
