From bestselling author Katie Berry comes the second book in the CLAW Emergence Trilogy, Into Daylight.
Caleb Cantrill still can't find where he hid the bandit's gold or his cavern of riches. The only thing it seems he can find is more and more of the monstrous blight he unleashed on the peaceful valley he now calls home. Adding to his troubles, his twenty-four-hour reprieve from the gang is up soon, and the bandits will be returning, looking for their gold, or his life is forfeit.
Kitty Welch is swept up in a corrupt scheme which may result in her arrest and deportation back to Scotland. Though she wants to flee, there is something keeping her in the valley, something very surprising that she thought she'd never have.
Creeping, crawling, slithering death now lurks around every corner of the small mountain town, threatening to devour the unwitting population. With the help of Doctor Brown and Sandy, Caleb hopes to eradicate the horrific creatures. But even if he is successful, unless he can recall the locations of his golden fortunes, he might just die anyway.
Caleb Cantrill is an Irishman whose luck may have just run out. He has two fortunes in gold and can't remember the location of either. And that's the least of his worries.
A gang of blood-thirsty bandits are riding north to claim his first fortune, sovereign gold, which he fled with after a bank job went wrong. His second fortune, an immense gold strike, comes with a monstrous blight attached, one he accidentally unleashed onto a small mountain town nestled in the heart of a remote Canadian valley.
Now, after running his entire life, Caleb must make a stand and fight not only for his friends and fortune but also his future, knowing that if he does, he will likely die trying.
