In Revelations: Roads to Redemption, a rambunctious team of vigilante heroes takes us on an emotionally charged, action-packed journey to find a missing fiancé
Miami, FL, Haitian-American author Yanatha Desouvre action-adventure/thriller that pays homage to Wyclef Jean and honors timeless Haitian proverbs
Synopsis: After Amara's fiancé goes missing, Grayson Goodman and his unorthodox, ragtag vigilante crew must get ahead of the FBI to find out what happened that night at the upscale Club Escape in Philadelphia. Our heroes take on an action-packed, emotionally charged journey from the city of 'Brotherly Love' to the 'Magic City' of Miami, that will unravel their deepest, darkest secrets, and force them to face the dire consequences of yesterday's choices. Justice is a fury, but redemption is a slow burn. On this perilous quest, the high-spirited squad (Grayson, Amara, Dominique, and Zoklo) must learn to temper their steel and forge their destinies. Will this rambunctious team complete its mission with all the friendships unscathed?
Revelations: Roads to Redemption is a sequel to Yanatha Desouvre's "Impossible to put down" debut novel, To Whom Much is Given, available on Amazon. Inspired by timeless proverbs from Haiti, Book Two of the Goodman Chronicles takes us through high-stakes scenarios that are fast, funny, fierce, and captivating - all the while paying homage to some of the (un)recognized Haitian figures who have guided the author's own journey.
