Book excerpt: For as long as humanity has existed, a war has waged between the forces of Darkness and Light. Serving the Dark are Rewera, people possessed by demons, their immortality bought through human sacrifice. The only ones who can stop them are the Pegasi: a special race of mortals who must wield a sacred blade, the Sagrado Cuchillo, in order to banish the demons back into the depths of Hell. Little does eleven-year-old Jason Carver know that he is a Pegasi, and that he was born to play a crucial role in protecting the realm of Light. After his parents are murdered in a devastating car crash, Jason is sent to live with his Uncle Richard, a callous man with a hidden and violent past. Before long, Jason realizes that he is still being stalked by an unspeakable evil: a Rewera who will stop at nothing in making sure that Jason-and his Pegasi powers-are wiped clean off the earth. Jason's only hope for survival lies in his own ingenuity, his ability to trust his mysterious uncle, and the help of a boy who died 160 years earlier. In a story that stretches across the centuries, The Pegasi Chronicles: The Sacred Knife is a stunning portrayal of loss and the will to survive. As the first book in an upcoming series, readers won't want to miss this thrilling introduction to an imaginative world that's much like our own-a world that is pulled between the forces of destruction and compassion....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been less than a year since eleven-year-old Jason Carver’s parents were murdered by one of the Rewera, a malicious breed of immortal humans possessed by ancient demons. With the help of his uncle Richard, Jason was able to defeat his murderous enemy, and has since tried to return to a “normal” boyhood. However, school life isn’t easy for him, and not only does he have to deal with the school bully, but a far more sinister threat lurks just on the horizon: the Rewera still want him dead, because unbeknownst to Jason, he is a Pegasi: a mortal imbued with the sacred power of banishing evil. The Rewera return in full force in The Pegasi Chronicles: The Portal to eradicate the Pegasi threat and contaminate Earth with their evil. Not only do they have a diabolical plan to exterminate Jason, but they also seek to open a portal between their plane and the human world in order to summon more of their kind. As part of the Rewera’s strategy, an innocent, twelve-year-old boy from Syria becomes a sacrificial pawn; this boy, Ari, must undergo a horrific process of corruption that will transform him into Jason’s future killer. If the Rewera have their way, both Jason and Ari face an agonizing death. The only person with the knowledge and skill to save them is Richard, whose own complicated and violent past is revealed in the process. Expanding the rich mythology of the Pegasi and Rewera that began in The Sacred Knife, author Allan McCarville brings us the next installment in his exciting new series. The battle between good and evil intensifies, unveiling dark secrets and pulling more innocent lives into a web of building chaos.
