CONROE, TX – Defiance Press & Publishing is proud to announce the signing of author Olen Baker for “Redemption: Mercy Condemned,” the gripping second installment in his supernatural thriller Redemption Series.
Set against the harsh backdrop of Texas, “Redemption: Mercy Condemned” follows ex-con Bodhi Hall as he struggles to rebuild his life after serving five years for involuntary manslaughter. Taken in by the Diamondback Motorcycle Club, Bodhi works construction jobs and volunteers at a pit bull rescue while trying to outrun the demons of his past—both figurative and literal.
When Bodhi discovers that the Mexican death cult that nearly killed him in prison has followed him to the outside world, and his former cellmate and spiritual mentor Caedmon is wasting away in a neglectful nursing home, he becomes determined to save his friend despite questioning his own sanity. As Bodhi battles bureaucratic nightmares and corrupt officials, he finds himself thrust into the center of a supernatural war involving werewolves, demons, and shadowy government agencies.
Guided by cryptic biblical messages and an enigmatic Texas Ranger with mysterious powers, Bodhi navigates a treacherous path between good and evil. His newfound Christian faith is tested at every turn as he confronts the dark forces that threaten not only his own redemption but the souls of everyone around him.
“Olen Baker has delivered a masterful blend of gritty realism and supernatural suspense that will captivate readers from the first page to the last,” said Lisa Woodward, Director of Publishing at Defiance Press. “What sets this series apart is its unflinching exploration of faith, forgiveness, and redemption against a backdrop of spiritual warfare. Baker doesn’t shy away from life’s harsh realities, but instead shows how grace can penetrate even the darkest corners of human experience. This is precisely the kind of bold, spiritually rich storytelling that Defiance Press is proud to champion.”
“Redemption: Mercy Condemned” will be available for purchase in winter 2025 through major retailers, independent bookstores, and online at www.DefiancePress.com.
