One soul. One judgment. Eternity hangs in the balance.
What really happens when we die?
Purgatory is a gripping afterlife thriller that follows one man’s harrowing journey through the land between Heaven and Hell.
Matthew Warner, a successful yet deeply flawed executive, awakens in Purgatory after his death. To earn redemption, he must confront every soul he ever wronged and seek their forgiveness. Success leads to Heaven. Failure condemns him to Hell.
But the path to salvation is far more terrifying than Matthew imagined. From a classmate he bullied to a Black family he discriminated against to a daughter he never knew, every encounter forces him to relive his sins. Worse still, Satan himself intervenes—claiming Matthew’s soul as his own and threatening a war that could shatter the balance of the afterlife.
As Matthew journeys deeper, readers are pulled into Hell’s fiery depths, where history’s most infamous figures—Hitler, Ted Bundy, Vlad the Impaler, and others—suffer eternal torment alongside the unexpected: King Solomon, Thomas Edison, Socrates, and dozens more. Each revelation shakes Matthew’s understanding of sin and justice.
When the armies of Heaven and Hell clash, casualties mount, and the final showdown between Michael the Archangel and Satan decides not only Matthew’s fate—but the fate of the hereafter itself.
For readers of Dante’s Inferno and C.S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce, this modern allegory explores sin, forgiveness, redemption, and the ultimate battle for the human soul.
