Jerusalem's Undead Trilogy Books

Judas hung himself in a place known as the Akeldama or Field of Blood. But what if his death didn't end his betrayal? What if his tainted blood seeped deep into the earth, into burial caves, causing a counterfeit resurrection of the dead? Gina Lazarescu, a Romanian girl with a scarred past, has no idea she is being sought by the undead. The Collectors, those released from the Akeldama, feed on souls and human blood. But there are also the Nistarim, those who rose from their graves in the shadow of the Nazarene's crucifixion--and they still walk among us, immortal, left to protect mankind. Gina realizes her future will depend on her understanding of the past, yet how can she protect herself from Collectors who have already died once but still live? The Jerusalem's Undead Trilogy takes readers on a riveting journey, as imaginative fiction melds with biblical and archaeological history.

Ten years after the undead of Jerusalem escaped from their Field of Blood tombs and set about taking over the world by promoting seven evil acts, Gina Lazarescu flees for the mountains to protect a group of children, unaware of a companion's life-shaking secrets. Original.

In the final installment of the Jerusalem's Undead Trilogy, readers will witness an epic showdown of a battle between good and evil that started with the suicide of Judas. The suicide of Judas Iscariot in 30 A.D. left his blood seeping into the soil of the Field of Blood, in Aramaic: the Akeldama. When this same field is disturbed by work crews outside Jerusalem in 1989, a clan of supernatural Collectors is released from the ancient burial chambers. Infused with Judas's enmity, they seek to corrupt and destroy by using blood to infect and exploit a host's weaknesses. Gina Lazarescu's life has been on a collision course with the Akeldama Collectors. Everyone she knows and loves is threatened by their ever-increasing efforts. Gina knows she can't defeat them on her own, though, and that it will take the combined efforts of all Those Who Resist for this living evil to be stopped.
