Midnight Oath

Some promises are made in blood. Some are made at midnight. This one was made before they were born.

Jared Smith got his brother back from the dark. Now all he wants is a fresh start. He drives Dean as far from Prairie Winds as his truck will take them, to a little mountain town in New Mexico where nobody knows their names. But at twelve o'clock every night, something follows them there. The clocks stop. Jared's dog won't come near him. Photographs on the wall start to change.

Then a stranger in a long black car arrives with an envelope. Inside is an oath signed in their mother's blood. Years ago, Claire Hollister traded her two sons for fame. The deal had one condition: the boys were to be kept apart, and on the day they came together under one roof, the clock began to run.

That clock has nearly run out.

With two priests, a handful of loyal friends and a deadline counting down day by day, the brothers race back home to Prairie Winds to break a promise that was never theirs to keep. But something is already wearing Jared from the inside, and Dean has to decide how much he's willing to give up to keep his brother on this side of midnight.

Midnight Oath is a haunting story of brotherhood, sacrifice and the debts we inherit, and the second book in Dustin Ray's Midnight Trilogy.

The story concludes in The Last Midnight.
