The Awakening
First rule of the Doctrine of Blackwood Exorcists;
Should the evil’s power exceed yours, never face it alone…or death shall be your only companion.
When Evan Blackwood, the infamous exorcist of Emberlyn, undertakes a new case, he’s most certain it would lead him to death’s door. But when he accidentally sets free a demon from centuries-old confinement, it’s not death that awaits him—it’s something far more sinister.
Those scarlet eyes hold secrets that Evan doesn’t wish to uncover, a twisted history he feels an unspoken connection to, and a hazy face that plagues his nights.
But when dark forces start rising in Emberlyn, the fate of the town and the lives of his loved ones are thrust into Evan’s hands. He must face the dangers threatening their peace—and team up with the very demon he set free to save them all.
