A young family is brutally murdered, and the world begins to unravel. The Chosen are dead, and an ancient evil - the Traveler - stands unchecked.
Two decades later, Zach Regan, a young man shaken by the return of a night terror that once stalked his childhood, and Peyton Sayre, a teenage girl resolved to survive the emotional carnage of a broken home, are drawn together by a force neither can comprehend, and neither can resist. Each glimpse fleeting moments of lives clearly not their own, vivid snapshots of another time and place... and of a family murdered.
Caught in a sudden storm of violence and deceit, Zach and Peyton are torn from one another, separated by distance yet joined by a need to fulfill an unknown purpose. Guided toward the truth by dreamlike visions, they yearn to find one another, but theirs is a union the Traveler cannot allow. He places in their path a killer who'd murdered an entire family twenty years before. Vic Davol had killed the Chosen once, and now he must kill them again.
The world teeters on the razor's edge of the abyss as Zach and Peyton race to fulfill a promise once lost, for only they can prevent the onset of an encroaching, interminable darkness... the End of Days.
About the Author:

Praise for Chuck Grossart:
"Grossart's accomplished nonlinear novel is equally entertaining and suspenseful. Grossart's narrative keeps the reader guessing; he draws back layers of mystery tantalizingly slowly, leaving the reader to piece together the grand puzzle, with an immensely rewarding payoff. Recalling Rod Serling's setups in The Twilight Zone, Grossart plays with time and memory in a highly inventive way. He combines thought-provoking questions about memory with nail-biting suspense, creating a unique novel that shows what can be achieved when one pushes the boundaries of speculative fiction." - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Literary surrealism at its finest, Grossart's latest genre bender explores a life led under many identities. Fans of The X-Files and The Twilight Zone will love the subtle reminders that nothing is what it appears to be in Brody's day-to-day life, and will enjoy feeling a creeping dread as the novel progresses - until the truth of Brody's fractured reality is revealed." - Booklist
"The Argus Deceit by Chuck Grossart is Quantum Leap meets Stephen King-esque style of creepiness. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel by Grossart whose writing I've come to love... Grossart writes with exploding action, heartfelt emotion, and clever mystery." - Raging Book Reviews
