An Awakening

Brooke Larken's year has not gone as planned. Her neighbor was killed, her boyfriend is missing, and her town of Neelsville is slowly...changing. She just wants things to get back to normal. But a cryptic visit from a dangerous acquaintance makes her realize that things may never be the same again.

The Traveller has wandered the earth for far too long. After centuries on the run--and clinging to the last vestiges of his humanity--he's ready to give up. But a return to Neelsville has him reconsidering everything he knows about humans and those who would destroy them.

Can Brooke and the Traveller fight the impending takeover of Neelsville by the distractors, otherworldly beings who slowly drain everything good from the humans they inhabit? Or will the distractors win?

A battle for a town's very soul rages in this supernatural tale about what makes us human, the pain of loss, and the importance of fighting to save the ones we love.
