The line between faith and darkness has never been more fragile. Cursed on the battlefield of 1761, Thomas Hale was transformed into Jake—a destroyer driven by an insatiable thirst for blood and the torment of a soul buried beneath centuries of violence. Hunted by the followers of Lord Alistair, he walks the shadows, torn between destruction and redemption. In the quiet town of Havenwood, Ashley, a devout eighteen-year-old, begins to dream of blood, faceless figures, and whispers in the woods. When her path collides with Jake’s, she sees not a monster, but a man imprisoned by an ancient evil. Her faith and empathy ignite a fragile hope he thought long lost. But prophecy looms, and the Anointed cult draws near. Together, Ashley and Jake must face a choice: surrender to annihilation—or challenge the curse that binds them both. The battle between light and shadow is coming. And the line between salvation and damnation has never been so thin.
