Adam's Rising: The Original Midnight Son

by Carmen Desousa

Overview

In the wilds of Alaska, survival isn't just about weathering the cold-it's about choosing who you'll become.

Sixteen-year-old Adam Belgarde didn't choose his life. But when tragedy stole his parents and his older brother left behind a dangerous legacy, he had no choice but to take his younger brother and run.

With nowhere else to turn, he seeks refuge at an Alaskan horse ranch nestled in the Talkeetna Mountains. He's hungry, desperate, and determined to prove himself-even if that means working alongside men twice his age. The one bright spot? Reconnecting with his wild mustang-the scarred horse only he can ride.

But nothing stays hidden forever. When someone from his past shows up-a girl who believes he's someone else-Adam's fragile new world begins to crack. And just when he dares to believe in second chances, the one person he's ever truly loved disappears without a trace.

Witness the genesis of a hero whose determination and courage light the path for future generations.
