What if death isn’t the end… but the moment the Reaper comes to collect?
Don Waterman is out of time. A decorated WWII veteran and former cop, dying in a New Orleans hospital with nothing left but pain and regret… until a mysterious visitor arrives on All Hallows’ Eve. She calls herself Salem: timeless, dangerous, and utterly impossible. To reclaim her place in Heaven, a fallen angel saves a dying WWII hero from damnation and transforms him into her supernatural weapon in a secret war against the beings that control and feed upon humanity.
Salem compels Don to relive a buried memory from World War II… a top-secret mission targeting a Nazi SS convoy, soaked in violence, arcane power, and decisions altering destiny. As memories sharpen into truth, he understands what occurred long ago was no accident… the consequences have been waiting for him.
Death closing in and the boundary between worlds dissolving, Don confronts who he truly is, what horrors he has committed, and whether redemption can still be granted. Salem assures him she has come to ensure his soul is saved from damnation, and to offer his soul a second life of consequence and meaning. A companion in her own long quest for absolution. She will train him to be her weapon. A lethal supernatural assassin pursuing legendary monstrosities, devolved Fallen angels, feeding on humanity from the shadows.
Darkly gripping, fiercely original, and charged with supernatural intensity, The Absolution of Salem: Resurrection is a haunting journey through remorse, redemption, valor, and the thin line between damnation and salvation.
