Dark Hope tells the gripping tale of Hope Carmichael—a compelling young woman instantly memorable for her endurance, heart, and determination. Kidnapped as a child and branded with a portentous mark, Hope’s whole life has been enveloped in foreboding. Quiet and reserved, Hope does her best to blend into the background, but she is destined to emerge as a strong, independent champion for others. Her interactions with a mysterious, and strikingly beautiful emancipated teen Michael—fated either to save Hope or to kill her—further add to the dark web of forces that seem to surround her. McGurk blends the fast-paced narrative of intrigue and perplexing biblical secrets with the thread of human trafficking and the moral urgency to combat it. In an epic narrative that takes readers from the back streets of Atlanta to the height of Vegas penthouses and beyond, Dark Hope introduces The Archangel Prophecies, a saga of vast mythological scope, great moral urgency, and forbidden love.
