The Island
The worst has come and one man must rise to lead the fight against it...
He thought he’d seen the worst...
No
one knew about the Strangers from beyond Noreela, and it was the Core’s
job to make sure it stayed that way. Kel Boon was once an agent of the
land’s most secret organization, tracking, observing, and eliminating
the Strangers as part of an elite Core team. But then one horrifying
encounter left his superior officer — and lover — dead, along with many
innocents. And Kel has been running ever since.
But the worst was still to come...
Forsaking
magic, living as a simple wood-carver, Kel came to the fishing village
of Pavmouth Breaks to hide. But when a mysterious island appears out to
sea during a cataclysmic storm, sending tidal waves to smash the
village, his Core training tells him to expect the worst. How can he
warn the surviving villagers — especially the beautiful young witch
Namior — that the visitors sailing in from the island may not be the
peace-loving pilgrims they claim to be? That this might be the invasion
the Core has feared all along... and that he, Kel Boon, may be
Noreela’s last chance?
