Zander knelt in a shiny, dark pool of blood, surrounded by black robed figures wielding swords. The figures danced, chanted and swayed, before one swung a sword at her dad’s head.
When the vision cleared, Tierney opened her eyes to find herself on the floor in her dad’s arms, shaking. “Holy Demons.” She stared at him in horror as she pushed to her feet. “You can’t go.”
Zander sighed, stood and pulled her into a hug and Tierney could feel his regret. “I love you, but until this traitor is caught, you’re not safe.”
She pulled away, her spine stiffening in resolve. “Well, I’ll come with you—”
Zander shook his head.
“At least take one of us,” she insisted.
“No.” End of discussion.
While he was gone, Tierney’s dread continued to worsen. She couldn’t eat, and a recurring nightmare of her vision kept her from sleeping. When she did sleep, she awoke with tears on her face, and her whole-body trembling after seeing that sword swing repeatedly.
Her attempt to keep her worry at bay, by diving into all their current cases, didn’t work. Two days after he left, Tierney called the hotel in Olympia where Zander was supposed to be staying. They said he never checked in. Sami tried to track his car but the Lo-Jack was disabled, and his cell went straight to voice mail.
They filed a Missing Person’s Report with the Olympia PD, who they sometimes worked with. The police put out a BOLO and said they’d let her know if they found or heard anything. Tierney wasn’t holding her breath. She knew the Ilyium had her dad, and it wasn’t like she could tell the police that bit of information.
Tierney shoved thoughts of her dad away as her earlier unease, a sense of being spied upon, grew stronger. A quick glance in her side mirror showed a large, black Escalade hot on her tail. Jackass! Attention back on the road, she gunned the bike and shot forward.
The black behemoth caught up, making her growl in anger. What’s this creep’s problem? she thought, when a menacing voice drifted through her head.
“Nice ass.”
A chill shot through her. “Who are you?” she asked and even though her instincts screamed to get away, she was too stubborn to listen.
“Someone who’s been waiting a long time for you.”

Living in western Canada with her husband, kids, and pets, Sheri surprised more than a few people when she decided to write a book. Having grown up riding and working with racehorses, drawing and selling animal artwork, it was a big change. Sheri fell in love with reading at age twelve when she read The Black Stallion series by Walter Farley. One day, after nearly tossing an unsatisfying book out the window, she decided to write her own, with characters doing what she wanted them to do. They came to life in her head and Sheri never looked back.
