Lawrence
Buentello

Sheri Downing

Mark Phillips
To stem the rising tendency to violence, they instituted a cathartic rite of passage that would determine whether a child was fit
to join civilized society. Now it was Joey Bailey's turn.

Richard
Tornello

secret that had been hidden for more than a century — but was still worth his life.
