A world where angels and demons collide.....Where knives, guns, and weapons might cause damage but only good can defeat evil.




The Knights of White fight for all that is good. They are the pure souls the Beasts of the Underworld have tried to capture but failed. These Knights have special skills, driven by both pain and desire to defeat darkness. They all have a personal mission and special powers that will not be revealed until the time is right for each of them.

The Knights of White live and train at Jaquar Ranch, near the Texas/Mexico border, close to Matamoros, the home of the Darkland Beasts.

Meet a few of their fearless members....


Jag:



How old am I? I don't remember. Too damn old. Eternity it seems sometimes. As leader of the Knights I'm supposed to keep them all alive. It can make a day of battle feel like a lifetime. Not that they kill easy. Still, behead them, and they die. I've lost a few Knights and that's too many. (Pauses and looks down for an moment) Salvador claims I was saved to serve a greater purpose. That I have a pure soul and that's why the Beasts wanted me.(Disgusted sound)Whatever. I say it's compelete bullshit. I'm here to fight and I do it well. I should. It's all I live for. No. (A muscle in his jaw jumps) It's more than that. The Darklands stole my life. I don't want them taking anybody elses. I want them stopped. No. I want their very existence terminated.


Des:


Ninety-nine years and 12 days. That's how old I am. Well, unless you start counting from the day I became a Knight. Then I'm seventy plus 12 days. Unlike Jag, I don't mind counting the days. This life doesn't suck so much to me. We have it pretty good as far as I see it. We don't get sick. We heal fast when injured in battle.(Smiles)The sex is damn good. Gotta love that primal instinct we have. (laughs and wiggles his brows) The women damn sure do. (Get's serius) Besides..we matter. What we do matters. Nobody even missed me when I died. But now...now I have a purpose. And Jag needs me. The man is seriously f'd up. Somebody has to keep his head on straight. I mean, the man fights evil, and he names his horse Diablo. That is borderline sick. The horse should be called 'Able'. As in, the only living creature ABLE to understand Jag. I try though. I really try. But a man has limits.


Rock:


The other Knights think I'm young and impulsive. Like 50 is young. (Shakes head)Not that I care. I mean, I do what I do. I kick Darkland ass. It's why I'm here. Why the hell do we need to stand around and talk about it. Just kick ass and be done with it already. I hesitated once...It cost me everyone I loved. (Heavy sigh) Anyway, I won't make that mistake again. I don't give a damn how hard the guys pressure me. If I see trouble I'm gonna shut it down. If they don't like, well, f* em'. (Shrug) You know?

Rinehart:


Talk doesn't save lives. Actions do. In some ways, I get Rock for that reason. Still, the boy needs to learn some discipline. In the military you learn to focus and then act. Rock...he charges into things without having his head screwed on straight.(Shoves his cowboy hat back with his index finger)Rock just wants vengence. We'll I've got news for that boy. We all do. But vengenece can get your ass killed. Shit. I watched every damn one of my platoon get killed by the Darklands. They were the only family I had. But I don't let it eat me up inside like Rock does. I let it simmer. Rock needs to learn that vengence is better served when nicely warmed over. That's when it packs the biggest punch. That's when it does the damage.

And then there is the one who leads the leader. The mentor to Jag...

Salvador:


A direct descendant of Raphael, he has a hidden past and secrets held tightly concealed. He has a mission driven by the purpose these secrets have given him. He is both the creator and mentor of Jag and his Knights.


More KNIGHTS COMING SOON!

The Women

Karen:

She was Caroline in a prior life and Jag’s wife. She was killed by the Darklands. She alone can guide Jag to accepting his destiny.



Eva:




Eva is Karen's sister. She comes so close to conversion to Darkland that Karen barely saves her. In the end, Eva becomes the first female Knight.

Meet the Enemy....

The Darkland Beasts - Soulless soldiers of the Underworld ruled by Adrian beneath Cain’s hand. These are the creatures behind the ‘Monster and Boogeyman’ stories that haunt Mexico and the border cities. Killing them means beheading them.




The leader of the Darklands: Adrian

He is evil beyond comprehension and seeks power at all cost.

****
Book One: The Beast Within



Known only as 'Jag', he leads an army, the Knights of White, in the battle of good over evil, fighting the soulless Darkland Beasts who took his wife and his life. Saved by an immortal of mystical powers, he, too, is now immortal, destined to live with the vengeance he feels in his heart. He is torn between the beast stirring his soul and the goodness his mentor presses him to embrace.

But soon the true origins of the war being fought will become clear. For this is a battle of angels; Raphael, a protector of humanity, against, Cain, the fallen one, from the Underworld.

Cain will stop at nothing to take down his adversary, even bringing Jag’s wife back to life in the form of forbidden temptation. His plan…to destroy the Knights and conquer good with evil.

Now, Jag will find the one he lost, and their love will either lead him to the light or the ultimate darkness.
