The Grim Awakening

A shadow war rages on between man and the infamous Reaper. Will thirteen-year-old, Ian Grim, mark its end or cause an all-new devastating beginning? Something was off about Ian. He knew it. Everybody knew it! Why else did the kids at school go about whispering behind his back and throwing him dirty looks? He was used to it by now. But everything takes a turn for the worse when his mom goes missing one night and his dad tries to kill him.

After “patching” things up with his dad, Ian Grim is finally able to return home to Darkwood and begin training to use his spirit powers. Of course, his relationship with his dad—or the lack thereof for the past thirteen years, and the fact that his dad wanted to kill him only a few days ago, made things a bit awkward between them.

In the third installment of the A Grim Awakening series, the paranormal mystery continues. Ian Grim is enjoying life with mastery over his spirit powers, friends at school, and a brand new driver’s license. All is going well until he receives a surprising invitation to partake in the Triskelion Trial—a set of challenges to test potential Ridirean Anam. Most troubling of all is his unexpected confrontation with the Reaper. What evil purpose drove the Reaper to urge Ian toward the mantle of Anam Ridire?
