Kings of the Earth: Everything, Volume Two

In this continuation of his debut novel, Christian existentialist Steven DeLay resumes the story of a knight of faith’s quest for meaning. Part fairy tale, noir mystery, psychological thriller, and essay in existential philosophy, Everything’s second volume, Kings of the Earth, explores the inner world of Oxford power-relations, a world of intrigue where sex, money, and power threaten to ensnare those who succumb to temptation and destroy anyone who attempts to resist.
