It was late.
Another grumbling, screeching train caught her attention when she came upon a crossing at the end of the block. She looked up as she walked, catching the way sparks illuminated the train’s undercarriage in showers of blue and white. There would be people in there; anxious people waiting to get home, and dangerous people looking to make a buck at someone else’s expense.
People filled with warm, nourishing blood.
The pain in her skull and jaw returned, so strongly this time that she had to press her hand against her temple to try and soothe the ache. Then she saw the rapidly growing lights of an incoming car. It had come from out of nowhere, the vicious shriek of its tires as it barreled down the street masked by the sound of the night’s last, passing train.
Had she started crossing the street it would have hit her; the thing clearly had no intention of slowing down. The car had barely cleared her before something large and heavy cracked her across the cheek, sending her spinning. She hit the asphalt hard, head swimming. Someone was leaning out of the back seat with a baseball bat in his hand, hooting and hollering, triumphant. Exultant.

About the Author
Lee Dignam & Katerina Martinez are the pen names of a husband and wife writing duo based on the Rock of Gibraltar. Their most recent series, the “Half-Lich” Trilogy and her “Blood and Magick” books, put them on the map, made them USA Today bestselling authors, and opened a number of doors to them that had previously been closed. Now, armed with a much deeper understanding of the publishing business, a firmer hold on the craft, and readers to back them up, they’re striving to deliver novels that not only have the power to make your skin crawl, but also make your heart swell.
Lee & Kat hope they’ve managed that with the Dead Wolves, and thank you for being a reader!
