Lexi

By Lorenzo Smith

As the demon king election gets underway, Torches’ juggle to be a good husband and father while keeping his secrets becomes harder once someone from Lexi’s past is freed. Now he must fight to protect the happy home they created together and figure out how to defeat the very person Lexi is searching for. Emotions run high as their son, Ezekiel, no longer sees his father as the noble man he believed him to be and Lexi begins to feel betrayed by the man she thought she knew. Torches must keep it together as his world falls apart around him.
