Salvation: God May Forgive Them. He Won't. - Paperback

by Frank Faustino (Author)

Salvation is a DARK queer thriller: Jonah Grady, a gay former SAS operative, escaped the Kentucky mountains, the faith that condemned him, and the family that tried to erase him. He was never going back.

But when his estranged parents die in a suspicious car crash, Jonah returns to the Dominion of America, a Christian nationalist regime where queer people disappear into conversion camps and brutality is dressed in scripture.

He walks right into a trap.

Drugged and dumped in the wilderness, Jonah becomes the sacrificial lamb in a Redemption Hunt: a twisted survival game run by zealots who believe killing him will erase their sins and cleanse their souls.

They made a fatal mistake.

They didn't just catch a sinner. They caught an operative who learned long ago how to turn pain into a weapon.

God may forgive them. Jonah won't

Salvation is Book 1 in the Jonah Grady series, an LGBTQ+ dystopian survival thriller featuring:

• Gay action hero
• Dark revenge thriller
• Deadly survival game
• Religious trauma
• Political rage

This is a DARK queer thriller, and its contents are not for everyone. The darkness in Salvation reaches far beyond a morally gray protagonist who occasionally does bad things. Fueled by queer rage, the story goes to some disturbing places. Murder, torture, brutality, and psychological trauma are part of this survival story, not merely window dressing. Please check the author's note for full content warnings before reading.
