Now, he's thrust into a hidden war between the mysterious Covenant of Bishops and the insidious forces known as the Tainted. As Christian grapples with newfound abilities he barely understands, he must also confront the shadows of his past and the legacy of a mother he barely knew. Guided by the enigmatic Mr. Hager and tested by the infamous Baldemar, Christian races against time to master his powers and uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just his city, but the entire world.

Autor

W.J. Grupe Jr. grew up in the eighties, the decade that gave us some of the greatest movies and music of our time. If you don't agree, you should probably stop reading now. Born in 1970 he spent many a Saturday watching Looney Tunes, and the collective works of Hanna Barbera including Space Ghost, The Herculoids, Quickdraw McGraw and The Super Friends. Then in 1977 something magical happened, his parents bought an Atari 2600. The next several years video games were his obsession. He spent hours jumping pits, shooting aliens, eating power pellets, and slaying dragons. He became the best in every game. Well, not every game, his brother had Space Invaders, his brother-in-law had Circus Atari, he had everything else. Reading was not a favored pastime until middle school, when he discovered the works of David Eddings, and Ian Fleming. From there he moved onto Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, Robert Jordan, and the list went on and on. Grupe graduated from St. John's University with a degree in Paralegal Studies. He started writing in college after a creative writing course. From then on you would never see him without a notebook. He wrote a combination of short stories and novels, none of which ever published. He met his soul mate in college, and they were married. Their daughter Kristina was born soon after and was followed by their Son Will. For the next few decades, he focused on his career in a consumer products manufacturer. Until one day at his niece's wedding he was inspired with the origin story of his first novel. Since then, the writing bug had him squarely in his clutches. His first novel Awakening was the first in the Tainted Wars series. A supernatural thriller, combining his two favorite genres. While he is focusing mostly on it, he is also working on a techno-thriller series as well.
