The Enforcer's Tale

"Run, Joseph...run!"

Joseph Young is a scruffy 13-year old, small town boy.  Fast enough to climb Mrs. Denver's fence after stealing eggs to feed himself and his mother...smart enough to avoid the school bully, Kevin, who would love nothing more to give him a good thumping...loyal to his best friend Tess...and trying hard to be a good son to his widowed mom, Maggie.

When the Children's Alliance Coalition comes to town and rounds up all the children they say aren't being taken care of properly, Joseph is taken and thrown into a whole new life.  He learns the Coalition isn't just taking children. They are forcing them to become Enforcers to continue the Coalition's mandate, and death awaits anyone who resists them.

It's a life he never wanted...it's a life where you hide your emotions and true intentions.  It's a life where one wrong move could cost him his life.

Then, without warning, he suddenly becomes the reluctant leader of the C.A.C.  When he discovers that rebels are harboring children at a secret haven called The Talon, he must decide whether to risk his life and aid them or betray them to the C.A.C. and sentence the leaders to death, including his own mother, who he yearns to see again. 

The Enforcer's Tale is the first in The Talon series.
