NEW YORK, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- U.S. novelist Stephen King has announced on his website his book, "Revival," will be published by Scribner and Hodder & Stoughton in November.

"In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers," a synopsis said. "Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs -- including Jamie's mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.

"Jamie has demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from the age of 13, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family's horrific loss. In his mid-thirties -- addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate -- Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil's devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings," the synopsis said.

The author of more than 50 books will release his previously announced novel "Mr. Mercedes" June 3.
