    About this ebook

    The house looked as dead as its lawn.

    A lost place. An abandoned place. A godforsaken place.

    Just the place a broken man like Andre needs for the ritual. Just the place that could turn his life around.

    "Godforsaken" – rough, emotional short story of contemporary urban fantasy. From Stefon Mears, author of the Cavan Oltblood series, and the Spells for Hire series.
