Servant

The much-anticipated follow-up to the breakout best-seller Caretaker, R.J. Halbert’s Servant plunges deeper into the Goodpasture legacy—where dark secrets, chilling curses, and unbreakable hope collide. Fans who were “hooked from the start” will find even more suspense, emotion, and haunting twists in this gripping continuation of The Goodpasture Chronicles.

A child vanishes. A family unravels. Ancient powers stir.

When Zach disappears overnight, his family begins to fracture under the weight of grief and unthinkable possibilities. Ian Keane, Professor of Ancient History, becomes obsessed with cryptic symbols appearing around their New England property as his wife Lyana experiences visions that blur the lines between madness and revelation. Caught between her disintegrating family and her own supernatural awakening, daughter Ariel grows increasingly suspicious of Marshall, the enigmatic caretaker who seems to know more than he’s willing to reveal about their property’s dark history. As the Keanes grapple with how far they must go to recover their son, they discover that some homes demand more than just caretakers—this home demands a servant.

R.J. Halbert is a nine-time award-winning and best-selling husband and wife team who have collaborated as authors of The Goodpasture Chronicles, a supernatural fantasy trilogy that blends mystery, suspense, endurance, and triumph into an epic adventure.
