Refuge for the Damned
(book one of the Damned)
Arizona Territory–1885
Jess Carson desperately wants his old life back. The life he had before he was shot, before his brother disappeared….before he became a wanted man. Though they don’t share parents, he always thought of Adam Colter as his brother, and they’ve never been separated–until now. Without Adam, Jess is unsure of everything, especially when a letter from Mark Chisolm arrives with the offer of a fresh start, and a risky mission.
Cory Lindsay came out west in search of a new life. She’s a woman with a past and though she isn’t afraid to admit it, she is afraid of just about everything else. Still, she risked the journey, determined to make a better future for herself–by herself. Cory expected to be met with opportunity, adventure and even danger, but she never expected to meet a man like Jess Carson.
The sorcerer, Foley, was forced away from his home when his magic became too dark even for the monsters residing on the Other Side. He must hunt the desert to survive his family’s curse, but not just any prey will do. Foley searched for a long time–almost too long–before making Jess his latest target.
The mysterious Mark Chisolm has brought them all together, but even if they defeat Foley, can he unite Jess and Cory with his other strange friends as a team with a common purpose? Or will his dark secrets drive everyone on their separate ways, alone again? Before it’s too late, Mark must make them all realize that while they can’t choose their relatives, they can choose their family.
