Winter

The prophetess for a new generation.

Winter Maessen didn’t ask for the gift of prophecy. She’s happy being a freak – but now everyone thinks she’s crazy. Or evil. Goths aren’t all the same, you know. Some are Christians…

Christians to whom God sends visions.

Students at her university are being attacked, and Winter knows there’s more than flesh and blood at work. Her gift means she’s the only one who can stop it – but at what price?

"Few things are as thrilling as finding a new writer whose talent for storytelling is obvious from page one. Well, meet Keven Newsome and prepare to be thrilled. If his chilling debut novel, Winter, doesn't leave you breathless and wanting more, you better make sure you have a pulse. Well developed characters, an intriguing, fast-paced plot, top-notch craftsmanship - Winter (and Keven Newsome) delivers in spades."

Prophetess

Winter Book Two

The prophecy emerges.

One act of violence is not enough to fulfill Xaphan’s plans. One near escape does not justify Winter’s growing gift.

There is more. She can feel it. The warnings swell within her.

He’s searching for someone. A person of promise…a person of prophecy.

And Winter must find her first.

"I can’t believe I waited so long to read the sequel to Winter, a book I love dearly. Prophetess is one of the most amazing pieces of fiction artistry I have ever read. Can I give it six stars?"

Acolyte

Winter Book Three

The right hand of Hell.

The FBI have never been this close to trapping Xaphan and they need Winter’s help to set their dangerous plan in motion.

But Xaphan is weaving a trap of his own.

The Acolyte is unleashed…a demon, slaughtering its way to Sandy and haunting Winter with memories she would rather forget. As her past threatens to tear apart the present, driving those she loves to turn against her, she must now face a far worse enemy alone…

Herself.

"I have been waiting years for this book, and it was worth the wait. Keven Newsome hits us with another action-packed, awe-inspiring, and emotional part of Winter's journey as a prophetess. . . . He drags you all the way to the end! And then you find out this isn't a trilogy, but a longer series. Aaaah! :)"

Winter Book Four

The Prophetess at war.

The time has come. Xaphan must be stopped.

The spiritual battle rages stronger than ever and Winter finds herself at the center of the storm. Not only are her friends at risk, but Xaphan’s apocalyptic plans could destroy the entire world.

To defeat Xaphan and his demonic princes, Winter must relive her broken past. And as the power of the infinite is unleashed, she realizes the last eight years of her life have all been leading to this single moment in time.

"I have absolutely loved this series all the way through. Winter is an amazing character. She's real, raw, someone I totally connected with. The fourth and final book in the series goes deep into Winter's past, drawing tightly together the dual timelines that have run through the whole series. There are some serious twists, so I'm not going into the plot for that reason, but suffice it to say that the author's careful plotting totally shines in this finale. And I don't say this lightly--very few books bring tears to my eyes, but this one did."
