Saturday's Child might be possessed...
Aaron Field is a farmer. He’s
sworn off parties and bonfires, and being more concerned with losing his farm
than anything else, he has little time for church. When his field is hired by
the church for a Guy Fawkes night bonfire, Aaron is ill prepared for the feisty
Welsh woman who steps onto his land and into his heart.
Meaghan Knight is a farmer’s
daughter. It’s her job to make sure the church’s bonfire party runs smoothly,
and if that means ironing out the kinks in surly Farmer Field then that’s what
she’ll do. When she finds out what’s really behind his attitude, she feels ill
prepared to face his history, his family, and the danger.
As Aaron and Meaghan join forces,
they discover an evil so demonic it threatens not only the farm, but their
lives, as well. Meaghan knows God can prevail, but first she has to convince
Aaron not to give up.
Extract:
Aaron glanced across the room at
the mirror. For a moment, he was sure he saw four reflections. He blinked hard
and looked again. Three people—Jack, Meggie, and him. Just as there should be.
Then there was a fourth. Exactly
as Meggie and Nancy had described. Red eyes, narrowed in hatred. Pointed ears,
and sharp teeth. The cowl pulled around the face, the figure seemed to be
pushing the glass forward, as if it were trying to break through. His insides
jarred violently, and Aaron backed away, standing between the mirror and
Meggie. “Jack…”
Pastor Jack stood, still pale,
but color gradually returning. He handed the phone back to Meggie. “Your
brother and the elders of his church are praying for us now.”
The front door opened and slammed
shut. Footsteps in the hall seemed to grow closer and the door to the hallway
flung open. But there was no physical presence standing there.
“Get out!” A deep voice
reverberated through the kitchen, shaking the glass in the dresser and making
the lamp shade swing from side to side.
Meggie screamed in terror.
Aaron grabbed her, holding her
tightly, his own heart pounding violently as brutal fear gripped him.
Meggie tugged on Aaron’s arm. “We
should get out of here,” she cried.
