Jacob's Hope

Book Cover & Preview Text
The hush over the woods was deafening. The silence was terrifying, and Jacob found himself running from it as much as he ran from his enemy. The dusk was closing in rapidly, but he continued to run now blindly, hoping he would be ready. He scanned the dense woods and willed his eyes to see something, anything, that might prepare him for the next round. The only things he saw were more unrecognizable trees, undergrowth and an indiscriminate sameness that made finding his way or knowing his location virtually impossible. Daring to catch his breath for a moment, he stopped and looked around. Nothing. Not a sound. No detectable movement, yet he knew his enemy lurked, invisible. He continued his steady pace of progress through the unknown.
