KALEB NATION

Harken

Published: 1/13/13

Michael Asher is a prodigy for hire, born with the unexplainable ability to read someone’s thoughts through their eyes. Truth-seekers venture from all over the world to his small California hometown, desperate to know the truth about spouses and business partners, willing to pay the highest price for his gift.

But the same whispers that made Michael an underground celebrity reach someone who has been hunting for him. What should have been just another work night sends Michael running for his life from a madman assassin—a killer who isn’t human.

Following clues left by his attacker, Michael uncovers an organization whose orders are obeyed by the world’s most powerful leaders. Anyone asking the wrong questions has already been silenced. But Michael thinks there’s another who survived, a name his assassin kept: Callista. She might have the answers… or she might already be dead. Michael must find the truth before the hunters find him first.

“Whip-smart, charming, and irresistible…”

Kaleb Nation’s first story – penned at age 9 – featured the heroic and egotistical King Kaleb on a submarine journey under the North Pole. At 12, Kaleb phoned the editor of a major publisher to pitch a book idea but was sent to talk to security instead. Unhindered, he continued to write as a teenager and completed his first novel in 2003 when he was 14. Six years and many edits later, his book was published in multiple languages as his 2009 debut novel The Farfield Curse. Its sequel, The Specter Key, was published on 10/10/10. One of his publishers is the same company that rejected his call years before, but everyone is friends now.
