Rise of the Redeemed

By D.J. Edmiston

When the quest for truth means the end of humanity...

After hordes of zombified souls invade Lumintasia, intrepid 12-year-old reporter Leaky McCreaky seeks the scoop of the Millennium-a confrontation with Kalijin, the fallen angel orchestrating the destruction. While his ragtag friends embark on a desperate mission to thwart Kalijin's plans once and for all, Leaky hunts for secrets, knowing he is a witness to history and not the headliner. But in the ultimate battle for the literal souls of humanity, is hiding in the shadows a luxury the idealistic journalist can afford? Or will Leaky sacrifice his lifelong dream-and himself-to become a hero in the story he only wished to expose?
