The Cleansing - Paperback

In Bloomington, Indiana, where humans and supernaturals maintain a fragile, blood-stained truce, the government's annual Cleansing is designed to keep the peace, a sanctioned purge of anything deemed too dangerous to live. But this year, the Cleansing came early. And it's spiraling into a full-blown civil war. Ash Caldwell is no hero. Just a cynical security guard working for a sleazy paranormal tabloid, trying to keep his head down in a city that wants him dead. But when a bounty is placed on his head and an old flame returns with an army of vampiric super-soldiers, Ash is dragged into a conspiracy that threatens to drown Bloomington in blood. Hunted by death squads, vampire overlords, and the woman he once loved, Ash has only a handful of misfits standing by his side. With time running out and the city collapsing into chaos, Ash faces an impossible choice: resist and die, or embrace the monster within and become something far worse.

The sirens are wailing. The city is burning.
And Ash Caldwell's soul is on the line.
