Tainted, Book One: Possessed

Kerry Harker has been possessed by a demon for a decade and has finally reached the end of his endurance. As he stares Death in the face, his salvation appears in the form of a pure-hearted girl named Gemma Shepherd, who attempts to heal his wounds. Her effort, however, only awakens his demon and costs her her life.

Or so Kerry thinks. Imagine his shock when, newly exorcised, he finds her singing outside the window of his cell. Even more shocking, she defends him when a trio of bully boys decide to torment the "demon taint."

As Kerry struggles to wrap his brain around Gemma's motives, Gemma works to free him from not only the Sanctuary's prison, but also the one in which he's hidden his heart.

Possessed is the first book in Tainted, a young adult series that explores the modern world of the nephilim.
