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.
Ben Terhune is a multi-published author and social media personality known for gritty, emotionally charged stories like Broken Bonds and Barred From Entry. A former small-town newspaper journalist, Ben brings a sharp eye and a dark wit to everything he writes. He's also dabbled in stand-up comedy, sharing stages with reality TV stars and MTV alumni. You might've spotted him-briefly-as a background extra in a VICE documentary, or as George Wilson in a small but heartfelt stage production of The Great Gatsby.
