The Banded: Curse of the Red Tide (Book 3)

Stay tuned the official release is coming soon!

Series Description:

Rex Ripley wakes up on a mysterious island with no memory of who he is, or how he got there. He soon discovers he isn’t alone. Other boys have washed ashore too, each with the same blank past and the same burning questions. But the island is far from empty. Deadly predators stalk the jungle. Violent storms tear through their fragile shelters. And something, or someone, may be watching from the shadows.


To survive, the boys form a brotherhood called The Banded, living by a set of rules known as the Survival Code. With danger closing in and strange cues hinting at the island’s hidden purpose, reluctant leader, Rex must guide them through threats that test their courage, loyalty, and trust in one another.

As the mystery deepens and the truth about the island begins to surface, one question becomes impossible to ignore:

Were the boys brought here… for a reason?
