"When war erupts among
the Shadow creatures, can enemies become allies?"
Lone wolf, Rory Archer, never
failed a single mission. Now the hunted instead of the hunter, Rory unwinds a
twisted trail leading back to Amber Arlington, a spirited Halfling tied to a
world of Shadows. Bound to vows initially forged out of necessity, Rory and
Amber's relationship surges into more than either of them had bargained on.
Scrambling to identify their attacker before joining the casualty list, Rory is
forced to do the unthinkable, or watch Amber become a slave for his species.
In the battle against
Shadows, demons and all variety of monsters come out to fight. Can one wolf
learn to trust in time to save them all?
Excerpt:
A solid
assassination operation takes one part opportunity, two parts discipline, and
three parts disposition. Having two out of three this chilly Seattle evening,
Slade considered himself in abundance of good fortune.
Parked in
front of a solitary office building, in the zone clearly marked “No Parking,”
Slade cleared his mind of distractions consisting of the little here and there
that could creep in and throw him off, just a hair, but enough to jeopardize
his mission. Satisfied, he slid out of the rental car and re-tucked a stylish
black golf shirt monogrammed with “Constantine Vineyards” into a pair of crisp,
steel gray slacks. In this particular scenario, image was crucial.
Tonight, the
element discipline presented itself by his waiting for the precise moment to
strike. He made a living analyzing people and their habits, so he knew his
targets relaxed around the holidays and were less likely to see the danger
lurking behind his smiling façade. The current festivity du jour was Christmas,
and coupled with his gift, destined Slade a popular man. I'm counting on it.
He moved
around to the trunk, where he heaved free a slatted, wooden case. It smelled of
musky oak. The peaceful scent hinted at candlelit dinners shared with a long
time lover. His jaw clenched. Not in my past and not in my future.
Slade lugged
his precious cargo toward the sprawling metal office building. Immense, the
structure stabbed farther into the heavens than any other in the area, yet fell
short. Just like my target. Outwardly, Joe Larsen appeared a dedicated family
man, a real pillar of the community whose flourishing internet and telecommunications
business, ProCom, employed hundreds. In reality, the werewolf belonged to the
Dirty Dozen, a group of the twelve most ruthless wolf Packs roaming the earth.
How ironic.
I was once your target. A year ago, the Dozen kidnapped his cousin Amber, a
half-demon, half-human. Able to keep a shifter from shifting, Amber's ability
proved irresistible, since more times than not, the Dozen's meetings devolved
into an unproductive, fur-flying brawl. We saved Amber, but left behind some
unfinished business. Starting with Larsen, the wolves would learn a lesson...a
demon’s memory rivals the most scorned woman, and paybacks were indeed a bitch.
