Jonah Blackstone just turned thirteen when life gave him the worst gift he could imagine, losing his parents in a mysterious accident. Now he''s been whisked off to live with relatives in a small town in Georgia, where his troubles continue.

Jonah''s harassed by a local bully, encounters Reapers, and pursued by supernatural canines, all while learning to use his growing powers. He eventually discovers why his parents died. They refused to reveal the location of a powerful ancient artifact: The Protector''s Ring.

With the enemy closing in, Jonah must locate the ring to avoid the same grim fate.

Jonah Blackstone should have known his summer break wouldn''t be quiet. His hope of a normal fourteenth birthday is shattered when supernatural hunters crash the party in search of an Afterworld Courier.

Caught in the middle of the action, Jonah and his cousins team up with Kevin, a Fallen Reaper, on a quest to figure out the clues to the Seeker''s Compass, the only device that can safely return the Courier to the Afterworld.

When the hunters target Jonah''s loved ones, he must learn the true meaning of sacrifice to outwit the enemy and prevent the destruction of the Alliance.

This should have been an easy first case, at least that''s what the Mount Vernon Social Club thought. Find out why a ghost is still haunting his family''s home. Simple, right? But a sinister force is at work when Jonah and the others are ambushed during their investigation. Something is amiss in Mount Vernon.

With Wick and Kevin''s assistance, the M.V.S.C. uncovers a plot by the Alliance mole seeking an amulet to unleash a powerful goddess who will wreak havoc and chaos upon the mortal realm.

Jonah and the gang must stop her. However, unbeknownst to Jonah, the key to stopping this madness has been locked away in his mind. For eight, long years.
