MBB: Bill Halpin book signing

Newlywed Will Battese finds himself homesick and overwhelmed after following his ambitious wife, Shannon, to New York City. When a surprise pregnancy shreds their already meager budget, Will drops out of college and settles for work at a low-end diner. There, a small act of kindness draws the attention of Victor Degas, a man with an unsettling presence and deformed eyes. Victor's appearance throws Shannon and Will into a thrilling tale involving kidnapping, an ancient cult with demonic rituals, and an unreliable agent from the Roman Catholic Church.  With no one to trust but themselves, they must fight not only to survive, but to keep their humanity intact. THE CULT OF EDEN is the first volume in The Unrisen saga.
