Premise

High school in Hell is not where Jadiel planned to spend his final year as a warden of the state. He was supposed to graduate from Maion, Heaven’s ultra-strict correctional center for spiritually delinquent angels. But when he rebels against the severe rules and conservative attitudes of his guardians, he is exiled to Abaddon—the notorious school for the fallen under the city of San Juan.

A superior student who has all the intellectual and creative qualities that Headmaster Lucius admires, Jadiel works diligently at his lessons and rises in the ranks. But when he is assigned to secure the damnation of a troubled teen from a small town outside the city, one small act of compassion red flags him to the Headmaster’s watch list.

It is the lessons Jadiel learns in The Halls of Abaddon that will make him either one of the school’s star students … or its greatest enemy. 

Description

In the spirit of C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters, Mind Binder exposes the hidden evil living below the surface of everyday life. But unlike Lewis’s classic work, Mind Binder uses the narrative style of the fantasy genre as a gateway for a story that steps beyond the narrow conventions of the known world to the wider, more dangerous realm of what is hidden. The book is intended to be fun to read and provide entertainment value. It offers a bold take on the unseen evil that infiltrates young minds and explores the concept of spiritual oppression as an underlying factor to the sadness, pain, and despair many young people feel in their everyday lives.
