She witnessed evil. Now she must outrun it, guided only by faith, courage, and a hope that refuses to die.

Fourteen-year-old Nefi Jenkins' world shatters in a single, violent moment deep in the Amazon rainforest. Orphaned and hunted, Nefi flees into the unknown, her only companions: the memory of her parents' love and the God they taught her to trust.

From the heart of the Amazon to the halls of power, North of the Killing Hand is a gripping tale of survival, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of faith. Fans of inspirational suspense and page-turning intrigue will find themselves breathless until the very last page.

Can Nefi escape the killers and the darkness closing in? Or will vengeance claim another innocent soul?
