Beyond the Eclipse

About the Book

At a limitless and incomprehensible border, Hector Charles cannot comprehend where he is, who he is, or who he was; but he suspects that he will one day be judged by a divine higher power and even by himself. All he knew was that he was struck with an immense feeling of terror upon realizing he had no choice but to enter into the darkness. Hector is descending into hellish depths as he is forced to systematically relive each of his actions—actions he tries to hide at all costs and longs to forget. As he is unable to discern his real identity in this inanimate position, he suffers the consequences that result from the intrinsic passion that brought him to an end that neither he nor all who knew him in life could have foreseen. What was happening and where was he? Readers can unravel the answers in author Dunnia Balcázar-Goldstein’s Beyond the Eclipse. I would like to add a credit for the artist Jorge Posada, who provided his paintings for the covers of both books. Covers by Colombian artist Jorge Posada http://www.jorgeposada-art.com.
