A new building appears in downtown Los Angeles. It is ninety stories tall with a dragon-headed man sitting in a chair on the roof. Nobody seems to notice its sudden appearance, except the Circle of Augustus. Jat the Deceiver wants to drag L.A. into the Underworld. How will the building figure in his plan? "The book had me on my toes the entire time, every encounter the team had with the demons sent chills down my spine." -- Fiverr ReviewerFans of Ilona Andrews and Jim Butcher will love this 3rd book of the Red Souls of the Underworld Series. A ninety-story building rises on the downtown L.A. skyline, replacing a bank building that stood there the day before, and no one in the city seems to notice anything has changed. It is the power base of Jat the Deceiver. He will use it to complete his plan for control of LA. Gem gives the order to the Circle of Augustus. 'Destroy the Dragon Head Building'. The Wall of Unknowing still has L.A. under a suffocating blanket of lightning and static. The Circle is beset by uncontrolled emotions and must fight their way through all the psychic disturbance to reach the ominous building before Jat uses it to mount a brutal attack on the city. The question is, how will the Circle destroy a structure as huge and impregnable as the Dragon Head Building before Jat does his worst? "I especially love the other worldly elements infused at the end-physical and light bodies, the choices souls can make, and the healing elements involved, and love." -- Cherie Kephart, award winning author of A Few Minor Adjustments

Selected for 'Indie Books We Love' by LoveReading, UK'An impressive work of fantasy...world building is immense and captivating...it turns LA on its head ...very unique' -- Writer's Digest 'This fast-paced, deep delve into the underbelly of our humanness and other realms is a powerful ride that I recommend for those seeking a well-written, gripping adventure bathed in light.'- Cherie Kephart, Editor, Bazi Publishing'The action has a much larger scope in 'Wall of Unknowing' as the murky cloud expands and chaos seems to loom from every direction. There are moments of character growth but these are all in relation to the action and so I think that this would appeal to readers who prefer a more fast and furious urban fantasy. With a preternaturally skilled team facing off against a villain seeking to destroy a city by dragging it into the underworld, there's a strong superhero feel to the story once more and would appeal to readers who enjoy supernatural and superhero narratives. With lots of questions left unanswered we wait for the next epic instalment in the Red Souls series.' - LoveReading Review'Astral phantoms, energized crystal, car chases, a dragon-headed statue with a demon inside, an ever-approaching wall of terror, the underworld rising, and a courageous circle of friends who harness all their strength and supernal powers to save the souls of L.A., is just a taste.'A massive wall of lightning-filled static is spreading over Los Angeles. The wall is sentient, and it seems unstoppable.Gem, the Guardian of the Astral Gate, calls it a Wall of Unknowing. The Circle of Augustus must stop the spread before it reaches the Pacific Ocean or L.A. will be cut off from the rest of California. The static jumbles the mind. People forget what they used to know, the lessons of their lifetime. Not remembering how to do even the simplest things, they begin to act out in frustration. Violence erupts in the neighborhoods. Chaos soon follows. L.A. will fall into the Underworld and disappear from planet earth, erased from history's memory.The Circle of Augustus - Willet, Audrey, TJ and Dean - must enter the Wall in order to fight it.

Horrific specters and needle-fingered shadows lurk inside the Wall and try to keep them from getting out. Circle members are separated from each other, scattered across the city. The power of the Circle is broken, and the success of the mission is very much in doubt. Their memories are fading. Only their love for each other will save them.Jat the Deceiver, Lord of the Underworld, may indeed win this round against the Circle after losing the last one. Unless they can use one of his own creations against him...

They fly through the streets and subvert the minds and emotions of humans, driving them to violence and despair. A woman named Gem is Guardian of the Astral Gate in L.A. It is her responsibility to send those Red Souls back where they came from, but she needs help. Most of all, she needs a Listener who can tell her where the Red Souls are and where they will attack next.Willet Du Place is such a Listener. Her hearing is so acute that Doctors call her auditory system an anatomical miracle, but she gets severe migraines from loud sounds and spends most of her time in bed under a haze of strong meds. Gem coaxes Willet out of her house and recruits her into the Circle of Augustus, an ancient fighting force that rises to protect a city in danger of being overcome by evil. Everyone says Gem is crazy, but Willet is willing to risk pain and danger if it means there is a purpose for her abnormal life.>Praise from verified readers for a new and unique voice in fantasy fiction.
