Ghostbane

Richard Cross never believed in ghosts—until the night he saw one with his own eyes. Ever since his parents’ brutal murder, strange things have followed him, lurking just out of sight. Now, at 17, he wants nothing more than an ordinary life, skipping school, dodging teachers, and joking with his best friend. But when a chance encounter pulls him into the world of spirits, exorcists, and ancient powers, Richard realizes he can no longer ignore the truth.

Bound to a mysterious entity with glowing blue flames, Richard and his small group of friends must uncover the secrets of the unseen world, facing ghosts that defy logic and enemies that blur the line between man and monster. As he hones his abilities, Richard will learn that the dead are restless for a reason—and some secrets refuse to stay buried.
