Absolution: On The Beach at Kualoa — Don March

Absolution is a story about the vampire Jonathan Pfau. He was turned in the 1600's, while trapping for furs and exploring the wilderness of New France. His existence in the wilderness of the New World made him a very different vampire, eventually consuming him with the notion of absolution, to return him to humanity. Our story starts at what Jonathon sees as his last chance for absolution, in 1973 in a church in Boston that is known for the many miracles that have occurred within its walls. Atlas, that attempt at absolution fails. Thirty years later, he has new hope after a chance encounter with black sand from Hawaii. He is compelled to travel to Hawaii to seek his absolution. Jonathan's arrival upsets the delicate balance of three covens hidden on the island. He finds a passion for a curious woman that he can't quite categorize. Jonathan uncovers a hidden history of the island and faces trouble from long dead spirits that seem intent on stopping his quest. Finally he is faced with a choice, absolution can be his but the price is the soul of the mysterious woman that has touched his heart. Absolution is a driving story about a very different vampire and the long history of the hidden covens of Hawaii.
