About this listen

A Spiritual Courtroom Thriller

She was just a little girl when the door opened. Not the one in her room—the one in the spirit.

Molested, abandoned, and silenced, Alina never knew her life was evidence in a courtroom she couldn’t see. Every trauma, every sin, every silence built the case against her soul. And in the unseen realm, a demon held legal rights—through generational curses, ancestral contracts, and a legacy of pain.

But Heaven keeps records too.

Assigned angels fight to build her defense. A stranger prays. A seed of prophecy buried in her bloodline begins to glow. And as Alina spirals into addiction, promiscuity, and self-harm, the spiritual trial intensifies. The demon believes it’s won—until she becomes pregnant and, for the first time, prays for her unborn child.

That one prayer shakes the heavens.

Now, the Court of Heaven is open. The Holy Spirit is building a case. The Bible is the law. And her soul is on trial.

This gripping, emotional, and supernatural story peels back the veil on trauma, free will, and divine justice. Perfect for fans of The Shack, This Present Darkness, or courtroom dramas with spiritual fire.

In the end, truth will prevail—but not without a fight.
