Awakening
Book Two of the "It's In The Blood" Series
To save his friend, he had to take his humanity.
Thirteen is supposed to be a threshold to manhood, but for Malachi DeClue, it is a descent into a beautiful, terrifying power. Flight, venom, and a lethal sensitivity to the sun are no longer just childhood nightmares-they are his reality. But the hardest part isn't the change itself; it's keeping the monster hidden from the human father he loves.
One mistake changes everything. An accidental bite binds Malachi to his best friend, Eddie, forever. Now, they aren't just friends; they are brothers in blood, united by a secret that could shatter their family.
When a violent killer takes the life of their friend Sterling, the boys realize their powers have a purpose. Alongside their brother Ronnie, they unleash a dark, predatory justice that crosses a line they can never uncross. But as they hunt the monsters of the living world, a much older shadow is hunting them.
An ancient, vengeful ancestor has clawed his way back from a century-old grave. He doesn't just want to haunt their dreams-he wants their blood. With a new life on the way and the ghosts of their past closing in, the brothers must decide: how much of their souls are they willing to sacrifice to protect their own?
Awakening is a gripping Urban Fantasy thriller that explores the heavy price of loyalty and the dark side of justice.
Christopher Lee Roeters is a prolific full-time author whose extraordinary life journey shapes the vivid worlds, deep resilience, and profound empathy found across his 15 published books. From the rural towns of Michigan to the freezing, remote edge of Kotzebue, Alaska, Christopher has lived a life defined by survival, service, and an unwavering dedication to truth.As a former first responder and EMT in Northern Alaska, Christopher experienced the raw, life-or-death realities of the wilderness firsthand-experiences that ground his gripping medical memoirs and fuel the high-stakes action of his science fiction and urban fantasy series. His profound, twenty-year dedication to theological research and biblical studies further enriches his writing, allowing him to seamlessly bridge ancient history, global prophecy, and modern world affairs into definitive reference timelines.Writing full-time from his home in Michigan while navigating the personal challenges of cerebral palsy and a history of chronic illness, Christopher uses his craft to explore universal themes of found family, brotherhood, equality, and the triumphant power of the human spirit. Whether crafting high-octane cyborg thrillers, deep gothic vampire sagas, or raw autobiographical accounts, his stories serve as a powerful reminder that even in the deepest darkness, light can always be found.When he isn't expanding his multi-genre literary universe, Christopher composes original music and lyrics tied directly to his books, offering readers an interactive, multi-sensory backstage pass to his worlds.
