Young Adult Paranormal
Title: The Betrayal - (The Dark Circle Book #1)
Author - Sheila Hendrix
Synopsis:
When Zachariah and Matthew McCannon were young, their parents
abandoned them, leaving Zack to take care of his little brother, Matt.
Though they lived with their grandmother, she was always sick, so Zack
was forced to raise him. This was not an easy task.
Zack had his hands full because of Matt’s unusual powers. He has
visions and dreams that come true, and when he gets angry or upset, he
can move things with his mind. Because of this, evil seeks him, keeping
Zack on his toes as his protector.
As the brothers grew older, they became hunters, pursuing evil
supernatural forces. After Matthew has a dream, it sends them on a hunt
for cave, not knowing why, but realizing it is necessary. When they
arrive, Matt finds the vision was a trap.
A Darkness like no other wants to control Matt and kill Zack. The Darkness is named, Alanya, which means, The Destroyer.
Alanya hates the brothers. In the past, every time he tried to
apprehend Matt, Zack would thwart him by protecting his brother. Alanya
is incensed that a mere human boy can beat him, for demons are not to be
defied.
When Alanya asks Zack, “How far will you go to save your brother?” Zack answers, “As far as I have to.”
Now, the brothers are faced with a deadly force they never had to
deal with before. This demon is on a deadly mission to destroy
everything the brothers hold dear. If the McCannon’s are not careful,
neither of them will be able to escape.
Read an excerpt:
He roamed through the cave, listening to the sounds around him. Water dripped into an underground pool further down, the drops spaced several seconds apart and the splash echoing off the rocks. Sand and pebbles crunched under his feet, and wind whistled across the cave opening, all of it familiar. He’d walked that cave a million times for a million reasons. His domain — where he drew his strength — also became his weakness at times, for the cave was alive.
His name, Alanya, meant The Destroyer. He wandered the ages, seeking to slaughter people who held special gifts. He fed on them for their strength and power, each special power offering a distinctive flavor. Their cries resonated in the cave’s memory; their blood splattered on its walls and drenched its floors. If he closed his eyes and concentrated, he could still smell the coppery tang.
Strolling to the mouth of the cave, he looked at but didn’t see the forest. His mind seethed in his hatred for the brothers Zachariah and Matthew McCannon.
