Defenders of the Shroud — Scott Richards

Duty or vengeance?" Alone, lost, and furious, Josh Garenger is rocked by betrayal. He refuses to believe this was the work of a single psychotic killer. Driven by a thirst for vengeance, he follows the clues to uncover the truth. But the truth finds him. An unseen force guides the murderous hands of betrayers across the world slaughtering thousands. Now it's set its sights on Josh. Servants of this unknown enemy try to break the young Guardian, but this empath isn't going down without a fight. The more he uncovers the more he realizes this goes deeper than he ever thought possible, threatening the beating heart of the Shroud itself. It's up to Josh and the remaining Guardians to defend the Shroud and stand between mankind and the terrors that wait to devour every living thing.
