The Seventeenth Burden (Book 2)
There’s an indestructible, 500-year-old maniac on the loose—and that’s just the start of Gray Studebaker’s problems. It’s tough being the only one of his friends without a supernatural talent, especially when no one believes Gray that he’s having visions of Vlad the Impaler and his homicidal trail of destruction.
To protect his supernaturally talented friends known as the Sixteen Burdens, Gray must leave the familiarity of Los Angeles and venture east to the vibrant, gritty streets of Harlem, where he hopes to hunt down a killer of supernatural strength and save Elsie from a romance that’s not what it’s cracked up to be. But he has the unique talents of musician Louis Armstrong and inventor Nikola Tesla to help him navigate hidden speakeasies, exclusive nightclubs, tangled subway systems, and secret interrogation rooms filled with ruthless FBI agents.
Gray discovers what it means to be the Unknown Burden, and the revelation may cost him his life.
