Vengeance: Blood of the Cross (The Vengeance Chronicles)

Vengeance: Blood of the Cross

Cypress Hollow is trying to heal.

One year after Logan Cross returned from death to save his daughter, Jenny Cross is finally stepping into the life that was stolen from her. A new school. A new name. A fragile chance at normal.

But darkness has not forgotten her.

When a message appears on a school window — THE BLOODLINE REMAINS — Jenny discovers that Frank Henry’s death did not end the war. It only exposed something older beneath it. Something that remembers blood. Something that answers grief.

As strangers flood Cypress Hollow in search of miracles, a new spiritual leader arrives with his followers, the Hollow Saints. Silas Vale speaks gently, prays beautifully, and offers comfort to the wounded. But Jenny can feel the truth beneath words, and Silas’ kindness hides a dangerous hunger.

He does not want to destroy her.

He wants to define her.

While Logan struggles to protect his daughter without becoming another cage, Pastor James fights to keep St. Matthew’s from becoming a shrine, and Dr. Evelyn Harrow uncovers terrifying evidence about Jenny’s blood: it does not open darkness.

It refuses it.

But every refusal has a cost.

As names of the dead are gathered, grief becomes a doorway, and the ruins of Mercy Ridge begin to stir, Jenny must face the truth that her survival was never just survival. Her blood carries a power darkness cannot control — and a purpose no one has the right to claim.

The Demon is dead.

But the bloodline remains.

And beneath Mercy Ridge, the second door has begun to remember its shape.
