Description

"And I saw the beast rising out of the sea"

While Noah built his ark to save the creatures of the Earth, another ark was secretly constructed for the beasts he wanted gone. Thousands of years later, the D’Ark—and its monstrous cargo—has returned.

On a brilliant summer morning, four college friends set out from the Australian coast for a day of fishing. Aboard their pint-sized boat are argumentative Liv, intuitive Hiroko, truth-seeking Ajay, and big, gentle Nick. Instead of the leisurely day they’re expecting, the four of them are swept up by an ancient force that delivers them into a waking nightmare. A nightmare that will test the foundations of their humanity.

The D’Ark is a spiritual horror that peers into humanity’s darkest dimensions—cultural, political, psychological, and divine—and asks whether the greatest monsters are the ones we unleash… or the ones we invite in.

M.J. Noble’s haunting debut delivers horror at its most provocative, its most profound, and its most urgent.

Advance Praise

"Four friends have gone on a boat trip and they are about to be plunged into a dark world. They will face many problems and danger as they try to leave and get home safe. How will they get on? Can they survive it all? A brilliant read" Goodreads Reviewer

"It delves deeply into intense themes including religion, Satanism, good vs evil, self-sacrifice, and more... This book takes place in a kind of anti-Noah's Ark, full of the "creatures" that didn't make the cut to be saved. Their leader has been waiting for "the one" to arrive and release them back into the world. The world and character building was very rich and detailed (some scenes maybe a bit too detailed). It is definitely the kind of book that keeps you thinking long after you put it down, and the plot keeps you feeling off-balance and creeped out the whole time." Amazon Reviewer

"I really enjoyed reading this, it had everything that I was looking for in the description. It uses the Noah's Ark elements in a way that was new and worked with everything that I was hoping for. The characters were everything that I wanted and it left me wanting to read more in this series." Amazon Reviewer

"Had me from the first page. I couldn’t put it down. Read it in 3 days!! Thrilling plot, amazing characters, villains of pure evil. Give me more, when is the next book out? A new series that’s sure to entertain, have you asking questions about good and evil and become a best seller!" Amazon Reviewer

"This is such a great book. It goes places other books don't dare go, and its messages on the dangers of extremism really hit home. It's graphic without being over the top, and I can't wait to see what happens next!" Amazon Reviewer
