The world is at war, refugees flock to Pandemonium’s gates and rumours have spread of strange, crying creatures in the lawless wastes that make up a majority of the continent. Meanwhile, the game of cat and mouse between a law enforcer of bloody repute and the vigilante she follows is nearing its end. For Louise that means her moral sacrifices will finally have some worth. For Damon that means his fear of death and being forgotten may soon be realised. Pandemonium follows what happens when a third player interrupts their struggle. A crippling, supernatural anxiety that speaks to them of potential futures and their deepest shames. As its claws sink in, our protagonists have no option but to travel on a muddy, twisted journey that forces them to reassess their own ideologies and their relationships with one another. Through war zones, apocalyptic cities and the remains of golden age architecture they are forced to confront their fears, their failings and the rapidly growing consequences of their mental vulnerabilities

"So, for all of your technological superiority, the missing piece of a three-thousand-year old puzzle is something as mittelmäßig as the answer man, in particular, a minor, and, specifically, this guy," I joked.Demian Friedrich is an eccentric yet apathetic, harmonica-playing, teenage reader who prefers to keep to himself and remain on the fringes of things. Yet after the mysterious deaths of his girlfriend and favorite teacher, he stumbles into a conspiracy theory and soon finds himself in the middle of a secret war between two groups of descendants of an ancient civilization. Both groups, the J'lares and the Nevels, each practice different hermeneutics toward a vague prophetic utterance that states that Demian is a key figure in ending their three-millennial conflict, a conflict revealed later to be one of supra-cosmological significance. But as the J'lares and Nevels struggle for control over Demian, they will all play into an unforeseeable type of threat, which none of their worldviews could anticipate.A stage-setting Entwicklungsroman (and first-ever anti-YA novel) filled with commentary on high and low culture, dips into metafiction, encounters with mysticism, existential concerns, and quasi-philosophical debate (and Notes for the uninitiated), SINEDIE presents an unprecedented, introspective, character-driven narrative about a quirky teenager coming to terms with death, the novel's primary theme, and yet a theme that is counterbalanced by how the protagonist creatively internalizes his secret and unrequited love for an older woman, one who answers for him the age-old question who is the woman at the center of your existence? and who culminates in the novel's surprising and unconventional (hidden) love story.
