Years after being decommissioned, Alcatraz Island becomes a haven for smugglers and a graveyard for a group of inmates sent there on a simple work detail. It’s also home to a darkness few can see, but Josiah is one of the few. A battle brews between the forces of Heaven and the minions of Hell, with the souls of unsuspecting humans hanging in the balance.
Inmate Rafe Garcia thinks the day is a gift from God, a chance to get out of the prison walls and away from the constant threats within. When the first gunshot shatters the quiet, the blessing quickly becomes a nightmare. The grave consumes people all around him – what hope does he have of standing against the evil enveloping the island?
Teenaged tagger Chloe and her friends trusted the wrong man, a man who took them to Alcatraz to create their art, then abandoned them when the bullets flew. What started as an artistic adventure soon becomes a fight for survival. But how can two teens hope to make it off an island overrun with inmates, guns, and a growing body count?
As the spiritual threat increases, Josiah stands between the innocent and those bent on destruction, determined to defend life at any cost. Can he stop a threat that is both physical and spiritual? Or will the forces of hell fill the grave with the souls of those too unequipped to stand against the darkness?

I cried! Very emotional ending to the series. Enjoyed it so much! “I don’t know what the future will bring. I don’t know if any of us will die today. But what I do know is that the grave is empty. Death has no power over me. When I die, I go to heaven to be with my Father, who loves me. This shell I inhabit might be in the grave, but my soul, who I am inside, will live forever with Jesus. How can I fear that?”
Last of this series and makes me sad because I feel I am saying good bye to old friends. Incredible inspiring stories that are filled with adventure and action. Not all happy endings but shows deep faith and willingness to follow God.
her writing is great. I love the spirituality parts claiming God for the answers. I am going to miss the characters though because I can relate to them well. Its life's circumstances that takes us away from God including the demons. I love your books Candle!
I have waited for this ! It is awe inspiring to read words on a page that make me see the battle in the heavenlies . This is one of the few books I would read again. Deadly Alliance series was terrific but your inspiration and seamless blending in the Word of God in this series helps my faith that I am called to a higher purpose also. The grave is truly empty.
