We felt it was worth the effort—early listeners of our audiobook presentation have been very favorable, so we felt it was a worthy venture.

In 1693, in a small village in Massachusetts, five witches are burned at the stake. Four are pure and kind-hearted, using their powers only for good; their murders are a travesty.

In present day, in the peaceful seaside village of Laguna Beach California, the witches rise yet again.

When the black rain began to fall, it was a worldwide phenomenon that mystified everyone. There was little time to ponder the cause. Most animals died at the onset. While some humans were unaffected, others experienced a half-death of sorts, morphing into blood and flesh-crazed creatures with a desire to hunt the living.

Cole "CB" Baxter isn't taking this lying down.

The skinwalkers have drawn together to form massive hordes - some wandering on their own; others amassed by Qaletaqa, an ancient Chief of the Hintoka Tribe who possesses near immortality. But he also hides a deeper secret of which few living humans are aware.

We used to believe that mankind contaminated the Earth through our use of oil, coal, and other non-biodegradable consumables and pollutants.

Nine out of every 10 humans have since transformed into walking dead creatures with an insatiable hunger for human brains and flesh. We, the survivors, are now food for the afflicted… and we are vastly outnumbered.

When Luke McCabe began the restoration of the dusty, '58 Cadillac Sixty-Special Fleetwoood in his mom's garage, he knew Betty McCabe was keeping a secret.

When it was complete, it looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
