Dark Matter: The Order of the Hidden Cross (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789696392620)

Dark Matter is a genre-defying tale that blends multiverse science fiction, supernatural intrigue, and the deep emotional ties of family and destiny. Across 19 gripping chapters, it weaves a story of a young boy, Joshua Carpenter, who discovers he is deeply entangled in a cosmic war between light and shadow-forces far older and more dangerous than he ever imagined. At its core, this story is about identity, sacrifice, and the human (and inhuman) struggle for purpose in a vast, chaotic universe.

Joshua's birth is marked by strange, supernatural occurrences, catching the attention of ethereal Memory Keepers and various otherworldly beings. As Joshua grows, he gains knowledge that transcends human understanding, setting him on a path to uncover hidden truths of the universe. Guided by Beris, a creature who serves as both protector and mentor, Joshua must come to terms with his unique role in the balance of reality.

Parallel to Joshua's journey is the story of Father Filadelfo, a young priest entangled in the Vatican's secretive affairs. After witnessing a demonic attack on a child, Filadelfo is thrust into a conspiracy involving the Order of the Hidden Cross.

The narrative builds towards a dramatic climax as the forces surrounding Joshua, Filadelfo, and the Order converge.
