Zhànshì: A Dark Retelling
Page 16
Two men jump down from the stage and take one of the girls by the arms. She screams, “No”, but is manhandled onto the stage with little effort. I can feel a heated gaze on me again, and I look to the man who was watching me before. He's watching me again. He smiles — though this time it isn’t the sweet one from before but an arrogant one. He steps forward and takes the rod from his father and, without hesitating, brands the screaming girl with a sickening sizzle of burning flesh. I stumble backward, trying to catch my breath, but my father grabs me and causes the world that I know to collapse when he says,
“Your turn.”

Finding the Way
Destiny is where you least expect to find it.
Joe is different to most of his pack, they‘re cat shifters, but he’s a wolf. His mother died when he was young, and he doesn’t have a clue who his father is. He’s no purpose in life except to breeze through it with his friends. Walking into a trap on the spookiest day of the year changes all that. It awakens a strength inside him he didn’t know he had. The flame headed fox changes his outlook on life and forces him to realise everything isn’t as it seems.
Red headed, fox-shifter Diane was stolen from her family and has spent the last year trapped in a cage — she has lost everything. Her family, home, and hope of a happy life. She’s told she’s special and needs to be looked after, but all she sees is nothing. Can Joe help her unravel the mystery surrounding her blood coloured hair?
Or will a prophecy end up destroying them both?
Welcome to the Evergreen series, a world of shifters and witches, magic and mayhem, set in the forests of England. Secrets, lies and prediction are wound together by the past and threaten our heroes as they seek to uncover the truth.
