The Way of the Clan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798893096446)

For centuries, the Clan has lived by the strict religious rules of the Way, but when a chance meeting with an Outsider triggers a series of events, it could destroy the sect forever.

Since their exodus to America in the aftermath of the country's Revolution, the Clan has sought refuge and isolation from the Outside in the forests of the Appalachians, where the shadows harbor secrets and whispers of the group's clandestine rituals echo throughout the mountains.

Born into this world of twisted beliefs, when his life is threatened, Gus is spared by his father's rebellion against the oppressive traditions of their religion. Adopted by a kindhearted pastor and his wife, the newborn grows up immersed in the world of the Outsiders and the ways of the Christian faith.

Years later, Gus's peaceful life is shattered when he befriends Lora, a captivating girl from the Clan. Bound by an unknown connection and driven by a divine mission to liberate Lora from the Clan's grasp, Gus must confront the shadows of his past as he challenges the very essence of the group's existence. Yet as Gus grapples with a destiny intertwined with forbidden kinship, can he succeed in leading Lora away from the Clan and their mysterious traditions of the Way, or will the stronghold of their deep-rooted beliefs prove too formidable to break?
