Born Again

Born Again by Sandra Salinas Newton is a bold and haunting historical fantasy audiobook that blends meticulously researched history with richly imagined fiction, exploring reincarnation, moral corruption, and the enduring consequences of excess across centuries. Narrated with gripping intensity by Sean Anthony, this audiobook delivers a powerful performance that captures the darkness, ambition, and psychological complexity of its central characters. Produced and published by Audiobook Publishing Services, Born Again features immersive background music woven seamlessly throughout the narration—creating a cinematic, movie-like listening experience that brings each era vividly to life. Spanning from the 13th century to the 20th century, the story follows the chilling reincarnations of a malevolent spirit whose unchecked desires shape history itself. Beginning as Malcolm Murray, a physically deformed and socially shunned Scottish priest consumed by lust and devotion to the cult of Dionysus, the soul reemerges centuries later as Diego De Herrera, an Augustinian friar in the Philippines whose extreme religious zeal turns cruel and destructive. Expecting salvation, he is instead reborn as Josef Goebbels, where—armed with forbidden knowledge of his past lives—he consciously embraces power, excess, and manipulation in Nazi Germany. Each incarnation is rooted in historically accurate settings and real events, with physical infirmities that symbolically reflect each character’s fatal flaw. As history unfolds, the audiobook examines how desire, ideology, and unchecked ambition shape destiny—and how excess, whether born of faith, power, or pleasure, always demands a price.
