Piercing the Darkness
Book 2 of the Darkness series
448 pages · First published 1989
Sally Roe, a former New Age practitioner, becomes a Christian and soon discovers that the spiritual conflict surrounding the town of Bacon’s Corner is more tangible than she imagined. Attorney Tom Harris becomes involved when a lawsuit against a Christian school intersects with occult influence, political pressure, and hidden manipulation. Angelic and demonic forces operate alongside the human characters as the conspiracy widens. Frank Peretti’s sequel to This Present Darkness combines legal suspense and overt spiritual-warfare fantasy in a novel that helped define supernatural Christian fiction of its era.
