Through Purgatory's Gate

By Timothy J. Apusen

After a suicidal Civil War assault ends in blood and fire, Captain Cain Flint dies cursing-and awakens in a burning forest where flaming wolves tear at his flesh. Dragged from the inferno by a scarred wanderer, he learns he has crossed into the Hereafter, a desolate wasteland reserved for the damned. Branded a hunted soul by the tyrannical prosecutor Lucius Dawn for crimes he cannot remember, Cain is forced onto a brutal road toward distant Paradise, the last refuge beyond Dawn's reach. Across ash-choked valleys and corpse-strewn forests, bounty hunters close in while Cain's buried memories claw back to life: ambition, cruelty, and bloodshed he can no longer deny. Each step toward salvation reveals another sin. Each survivor's mercy costs another life. As the gates of redemption draw near, Cain must face a final, terrible truth-he was not sent here by mistake, and some souls are meant to burn.
