It was as fine a day to be whipped as any he'd ever seen but the good weather didn't make Peregrine James any happier with the situation he was in. Unfairly convicted of a crime he had not committed, the young cook was strung from the whipping post on the Plymouth quayside when he caught the eye of the charismatic sea captain Francis Drake, who agreed to accept Perry among his crew despite the stripes of a thief on his back.
Soon England was receding in their wake and Perry was serving an unsavory collection of sea dogs as the small fleet of fragile wood ships sailed across the deep brine. Their destination was secret, known to Drake alone. Few sailors believed the public avowal that the expedition was headed for Alexandria to trade in currants. Some men suspected Drake planned a raid across Panama to attack the Spanish in the Pacific. Others were sure the real plan was to round the Cape of Storms to break the Portuguese monopoly of the spice trade. The only thing Perry knew for certain was that they were bound for danger and that he must live by his wits if he were to survive serving at Drake's command.

This story is a present-day twist on the biblical story of Jacob and his mother Rebecca plotting together against the elderly father Isaac, who is lying on his deathbed, in order to get their hands on the inheritance, and on the power in the family. This is no old fairy tale. Its power is here and now, in each one of us.
Listening to Yankle telling his take on events, we understand the bitter rivalry between him and his brother. We become intimately engaged with every detail of the plot, and every shade of emotion in these flawed, yet fascinating characters. He yearns to become his father's favorite son, seeing only one way open to him, to get that which he wants: deceit.
"What if my father would touch me," asks Yankle. In planning his deception, it is not love for his father, nor respect for his age that drives his hesitation--rather, it is the fear to be found out. And so--covering his arm with the hide of a kid, pretending to be that which he is not--he is now ready for the last moment he is going to have with his father.

Few people are cursed enough to see demons and fortunate enough to survive their encounter. Stark poverty and dark evil surround a young boy named Matt who has the rare ability to see angel’s wings sparkle in the sunlight and feel their presence even near the darkest of deeds. In the constant battle between good and evil, Matt is poised to be the champion for either side, but will suffering strengthen his soul or make him embrace wickedness?
Evil is subtle and powerful and sly, and Matt spirals into darkness as he contemplates that if God won’t change his life, well, then perhaps he will…if he can become evil enough to do so.
With deliberate intention he walks the edge of darkness, for a time becoming a cold and timid soul that loses its compassion and sensitivity in this supernatural dark thriller that begins with the tragic 1921 Tulsa race riot and progresses to a climactic battle in the 1960s.
Just when it appears his soul is lost, a young girl arrives to collect on a forgotten promise. Evil has great strength, but sometimes a gentle touch contains more power than a mighty blow. Extraordinary things happen when a girl breathes life into his heart and hope into his soul and calms his spirit, but that just might be part of the devil’s plan.
Matt learns love is powerless to prevent destiny from being bent and dreams from being broken. When you are left with bitterness in your heart, resentfulness poisons your blood, your thoughts turn corrosive, you taste anger on the tip of your tongue and inhale the scent of death into your lungs —it may be time to kill someone.
