Evocatus

By Burke Speed

Description:

Jamie is a young veteran with a painful history, most of which he’d rather forget. He tried to escape in a familiar place, but with a new job. A new life, really. In his mind, it was simple. He was done battling for others. The end.

It was a great plan . . . right up to the whole “fight for your life in a mini-mart” thing. Without warning, Jamie is attacked by a sword-wielding man and warned to stay away. From what, he’s not sure.

Unexpectedly, he is invited to join a covert band of brothers that fights to keep these evil beings, called Malum, at bay. To accept their invitation is to add death matches against evil to his resume. To decline is to live . . . at least for a while.

Kate is a beautiful barista and an important member of this undercover organization. She just might have the key to victory over the Malum but is kidnapped before she can tell what she knows. Everything hinges on a timely rescue of Kate as Jamie’s past and present collide.

Now an Evocatus, a veteran called again to duty, Jamie must decide how far he’s willing to go to fight-and love-again.

Book Takeaway:

There's a greater purpose for our lives than we imagine.

Why the author wrote this book:

I wrote this novel in the hope that it would encourage Christians who are looking for renewed purpose in their lives and also appeal to those readers who might not normally embrace a Christian lifestyle, especially veterans.
