    Twilight Falls is just your standard northern California town, right? It's not a playground for anything dark and unfathomable, right? 
    “Hauntingly poetic.” ~ Jeff Soyer, Alphecca Review

    When someone recognizes a face in one of his paintings, he’s suddenly thrust into a journey as surreal as anything from his brush, a journey into his past that will irrevocably determine his future. 
    EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the second book in the chilling "Enigma of Twilight Falls" series, where dark, terrifying, unimaginable events will rise up to haunt your dreams.

    Jake Barnum lives in Hell's Kitchen. He's a petty thief selling hot coats with his buddy Maggs to make ends meet and help his sick kid brother.

    As Jake becomes taken with its leader, a pseudo father and sociopath at heart, he starts stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. In other words . . . himself.

    The first book in the Desire Card series, Immoral Origins follows those indebted to this sinister organization—where the ultimate price is the cost of one's soul.
