Unholy Awakening (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181729155)

Mercy Lane was supposed to be a refuge.

But when a newborn's cries rise from beneath the floorboards at 3:13 a.m., every locked door in the foster home opens-and something in the darkness whispers Lilith Faust's name.

By morning, Lilith, Damien, and Mara are no longer the troubled teenagers everyone believes them to be.

Lilith can feel fear and make people listen. Damien's anger is turning him into something dangerously powerful. Mara's face is beginning to change into the people around her. None of them understands what is happening, but their new abilities appear connected to a trail of missing children, buried records, and a mysterious figure watching Mercy Lane from the shadows.

When Lilith accepts an exclusive internship at Blackwood Industries, she discovers that Port Haven's most respected company may be tied to the disappearances. Children are being reduced to files. Foster homes are hiding locked rooms. And Alexander Blackwood seems to know far more about Lilith and her friends than any stranger should.

As Pride, Wrath, and Sloth awaken inside them, the three teens must decide whether their powers will help them protect the children of Mercy Lane-or transform them into the very monsters hunting them.

Some houses keep secrets.

Mercy Lane keeps score.

Unholy Awakening is the first book in the completed Trials of the Unholy trilogy, a dark supernatural thriller about found family, corrupted systems, missing children, dangerous power, and the terrifying cost of being chosen.
