Half Blood

The darkness in my dreams has a face. And now it wants to claim me as its own.

I've spent my life hiding from the demons that sent my mother to an early grave. Working nights at Blakemore Asylum keeps me busy, keeps me from dwelling on the shadows that have stalked me since her death. But deep down, I know there's more to my "ordinary" life than anyone's telling me.

Then one night, something calls to me from the depths of the Asylum. What the doctors dismissed as delusions stands before me in terrifying clarity. Now I'm being hunted by creatures I thought only existed in nightmares, while four dangerous, alluring men seem determined to protect me - or possess me.

With my mother's killers closing in and my own untapped powers awakening, I'm starting to realize that maybe I was never the prey at all.

I thought vengeance would fill the void my father and brother's murders left behind. For two years, I tracked their killers across continents, letting my wolf's rage drive me further from my pack, from my duty, from everything I once was.

Now I'm back in Pearl, defeated and hollow - until her scent hits me like a bolt of lightning. Alyx Riddle. The asylum girl with power thrumming beneath her skin. She's the key to everything: my redemption, my pack's destiny, and secrets buried in my own dark past.

But I'm not the only one who's noticed her. And what's hunting her is far worse than anything I've faced before. This time, I won't fail to protect what's mine. Even if it means sharing her with the other three men who would die to claim her.
