    Amy Miles

    Author Amy Miles has always been a bit of a dreamer. Growing up as an only child, and a military brat to boot, she spent countless hours escaping into the pages of a book, only to spend the following days creating a new idea of how to twist up the story to make it unique. Since becoming a mother, Amy has slowly nourished her love of the written word while snatching writing time in the midst of soiled diapers, tumbling over legos and peering around mounds of laundry and dishes that never seem to go away. Once her only son started school, Amy was free to let her fingers dive into dark mythology, tales of betrayal and love, and explore human nature in its rawest form. Her love of seeing the world from a different angle bloomed. Author Amy Miles is the author of several novels, including her popular young adult immortal books, The Arotas Series, which are an Amazon and iBooks bestselling series. Unwilling to be defined by any one genre, she proceeded to flip over to a science fiction/fantasy based idea with her Rising Trilogy. She then explored the depths of her own faith with In Your Embrace and discovered her darker side with the first installment Wither, a zombie thriller. Want to know what Amy will be working on next?

      PROLOGUE

      Roselake, October

      Sam Smith peered down into the hole that his boss just fell into. The carnival music sounded eerie rising from the dark. Goosebumps appeared along his arms as the scent of buttery popcorn and cotton candy wafted from below.

      Joe, he called. Are you ok?

      There was no response from the foreman.

      The creak of the old demolished house nearby made him nervous. Joe had joked with Sam about being afraid of ghost stories right before he fell. Sam wasn’t the sort to easily be scared, but there was something creepy about this place.

      As he leaned in, the ground nearest the hole began to crumble and he leaped back. Turning, he saw the backhoe sitting nearby. He didn’t trust having that much weight too close to the cave in.

      Back ‘er up, Pete then throw a line over here. We have to go in after him, Sam yelled.

      Pete, the backhoe driver, hurried to unhook the tow rope around the large rock he’d been moving. The engine rumbled to life and shifted back a safe distance from the hole. Then Pete jumped down and ran to Sam’s side with the rope and a flashlight.

      You’re going to need to get in and out fast. The rope took a bit of damage from that sharp rock. I don’t trust it. Looking over the edge, Pete whistled, How deep do you think it goes?

      Sam shrugged. I guess I’m going to find out. Lasso that rope around my waist and hoist me down.

      The sound of children laughing grew louder as he slowly sank into the hole. Sam held on tight to the rope as the men lowered him inch by inch. More dirt caved in around the edges and used one arm to cover his head. Then lifting his shirt over his nose, Sam struggled to breathe through the dense air. It tasted of dirt and something foul.

      Joe, he called again, his voice muffled by the shirt. Are you hurt? I’m coming down for you.

      There was no response.

      When he was about ten feet down, he heard rustling beneath him. Sam tried to see but it was too dark. He flicked on his flashlight. A cloud of dust filled the space, making it hard to see.

      You ok down there, Sam? Pete grunted from the front of the line of men above. Sam was a pretty big guy. He knew Pete was struggling with his weight.

      Just a little more. I think I’m getting close.

      Shining his light on the tunnel floor, Sam saw splintered boards and Joe’s clipboard. The foreman’s coffee mug was broken into pieces. I see something.

      The rope suddenly jerked and Sam dropped several feet. He cried out, losing his grip on the flashlight so that he could cling to the rope. Sweat rose on his forehead despite the chilly temperature in the tunnel.

      That was close, he said and tugged on the rope to make sure it was secure again.

      Sorry about that, Sam, Pete called down. You should be good now.

      There wasn’t anything good about dangling in a dark and creepy pit, but Sam knew he didn’t have a choice. Joe needed him.

      The flashlight beam below caught his eye. It made a
