Book Tour: Spotlight

#5 in The Lighthouse series

Christian Fiction / Thriller

Date Published: 12-31-2025

Publisher: Besondy Publishing LLC

What if the Future of Faith Depended on a Song?

DelivRus, a world-famous Christian rock band, confronts its darkest threat—from the world outside, and from the pride within.

It’s 2041, and a single world government is striving to strip nations of sovereignty and faith. But the music of DelivRus has been a bulwark against the global attack on faith. That has made the band and its leaders a target for destruction.

Tarnished drummer Charley Austin, 21, and untested songwriter Mia Johansen have been called to reunite the famous band for a high-stakes comeback tour that could ignite widespread spiritual revival—or end in catastrophe.

But as they prepare, supernatural forces infect Charley and Mia with pride, turning ambition into arrogance, loyalty into rivalry, and every creative difference into a potential fracture.

What begins as personal tension threatens to destroy DelivRus on the inside, even as external forces are being directed to end the band’s existence in a two-pronged attack of destruction.

With political intrigue and spiritual warfare raging in the shadows, the stage becomes the ultimate battleground—not just for a fractured world, but for the souls of Charley and Mia as faith and pride collide in heart-pounding suspense.

Fans of Frank Peretti will enjoy how Besondy gives dimension and character to evil dark angels.

Fans of C.S. Lewis' early works will appreciate how evil forces in Besondy’s novel slyly plot how to deceive and destroy the main characters.

Fans of Charles Martin will like how Besondy drags you deeper into the night so that truth can burn away the lies, reorienting your soul.

Release Boost: Sleep Sweet

Sleep Sweet by Erica Easton is now live!

Elle

As a first-generation college student, I swore off conventionally hot men and stayed focused on my education. That is, until …

His ocean eyes crash into mine—right after he literally crashed into me.

That’s how Jesse and I meet—on the same day he signs his agreement to join the Navy after graduation.

And then we spend the next two years building our relationship.

Until he has to leave for boot camp, and my mantra becomes:

Keep me calm, keep him safe, keep us together.

But it’s futile … because it’s all ruined in an instant.

Our future.

Our plans.

Our love.

Our trust.

It’s funny how two minutes can unravel two years. Two minutes was all he ever needed anyway.

Austin

Somehow, my dream girl has fallen out of my dreams and landed in my life for the second time.

Half of our story was written by the coincidence that had brought Jesse into my division when he reported for boot camp. His bad decisions and my memory of her forged the other half.

Two years have passed, but I’ve never forgotten her face.

Her striking brown eyes.

Those full, glazed lips.

The innocence.

I begged my memory to erase her.

I didn’t have time for many things because the Navy came first. Always.

But somehow, the tides have drifted Elle back into the safety of my harbor.

Nothing will stop me from making her mine.

And proving to her that I am worthy of being hers.

Before she finds out the truth.

Keaton Stafford knows exactly how dangerous Rowan Cross can be.

And it has nothing to do with what Rowan can do in the cage.

Growing up, they were next-door neighbors and best friends. Just two boys who shared secrets, first kisses, and more. But one brutal night during their senior year of high school destroyed everything, turning them into enemies who haven’t spoken since.

After serving four years in the Air Force, Rowan returns home ready to turn years of jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and military boxing into a shot at an MMA future he’s wanted for years. He’s determined not to waste his second chance, and the last thing he expects to find is Keaton already making a name for himself at Titan Elite—or to end up as his roommate.

Training at the same gym means there’s no escape from the past between them. Every argument cuts too deep. Every glance lingers too long. Every touch sparks something far hotter than hate.

The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend their history meant nothing.

But attraction doesn’t erase betrayal, and old wounds don’t stay buried for long.

For Keaton and Rowan, this fight is only the first round.
