Beyond the Night
Joss Ware

Fantasy Urban

Six months ago, Dr. Elliott Drake and five others went on a weekend caving trip in Sedona. While deep within the bowels of a cave, all hell broke loose. When they finally emerge from the cave, they find they've awakened from a 50-year sleep. Earth as they knew it is gone; now it is a devastated wasteland run by deadly immortals with a horrifying plan for what is left of humanity.

Jade, who was born after "The Change," barely escaped the immortals once; now she is out for revenge. When the Jade and Elliott meet, they are unwilling to trust one another.

It becomes evident that in this new world, where zombie- like creatures roam the night, the rag-tag group of humanity must depend on one another to survive. Jade knows this world. With her, Elliott and his friends have a chance of survival. When Jade once again is returned to the immortals, it is up to Elliott to use his new healing skills to infiltrate the immortal compound and rescue the fiercely independent woman he has come to care for deeply.

Joss Ware's BEYOND THE NIGHT is an action-packed thriller set in a frightening version of future Earth. The story moves quickly, the action keeping the reader engrossed throughout. Elliott is prime hero material, a man thrust into a situation not of his making, yet willing to put his life on the line for the future. Chock full of evil villains and an intriguing mystery to be resolved in future stories, BEYOND THE NIGHT is a winner for those who enjoy urban fantasies.

SUMMARY

A man with no future . . .

When Dr. Elliott Drake wakes from a mysterious fifty-year sleep, the world as he knew it is gone. Cities are now desolate, and civilization is controlled by deadly immortals. Stranger still is Elliott's extraordinary new "gift"—he has the power to heal, but it comes with fatal consequences.

A woman with a past . . .

Jade barely escaped the immortals and is now hell-bent on revenge. She trusts no one . . . until Elliott. His piercing gaze and tempting touch shatter her defenses, but the handsome doctor seems to have dangerous secrets of his own. Is it safe to trust him with her heart?

If they are to survive in this dark new world, Jade and Elliott must work together to fight the forces that take them beyond danger.

Beyond desire.
