The Fires of AutumnChildren have vanished, children in the custody of the state, and the road that leads Dylan St. John to this discovery passes through the marbled halls of power, through the city slums, and into the vast Louisiana swamps. In spite of dire warnings, the mission becomes a quest to rescue the missing children. And Dylan becomes the target of a shadowy assassin. Torn by a hard and unforgiving world, Dylan finds an enclave of peace and sanity in a love that remains steadfast in the midst of insurmountable odds, betrayal, darkness, and the silent cries of children who are lost. |
