Twelve-year-old Kevin Combree is many things: a prankster, a target for bullies, and an occasional apple thief. He's the kid who gets into trouble and fights-the poor kid who's mocked for his shabby clothes and appearance. Independent and strong willed, Kevin has an open and often-expressed contempt for Christianity.
When people begin disappearing in town, Kevin and his best friend, Sam, realize something sinister haunts the hallways of their school. They think the dark presence is a ghost. They're wrong: it's something much worse.
A demon has set its glowing red eyes on Kevin and Sam's hometown for its own terrible goals. What those goals are Kevin and Sam don't know, but with the help of their new friend Cassie, they intend to find out. To succeed, Kevin will have to question his own beliefs. After all, if demons exist, so too must God.
The first in the Playing Games with the Shadows series, An Ancient Enemy plunges Kevin into a world he never knew existed. The battle lines have been drawn, and in this war, no one can remain neutral for long.
