Many in the small village of Elcher Hill had not believed that the young woman who stood before them had the power to protect them. When the beast came the night before, she met it with blade and cunning. Werewolves are hard to kill, but she had experience enough to deal with a newly transformed beast. When it had lunged at her, she had stabbed her silver da...
~~Jack~~ Getting taken back to the real world was a curse and a blessing. Everything, everywhere, was teasing him with answers he couldn't get to. What was the Ritual of Faces? Black Blood and the red wraiths, what did they have to do with the ritual, how were the hunters doing it, why were hunters and spirits working together, what did the red wraiths mean...
Felicity flicked her long auburn hair back as she tried to concentrate on the television screen. She was trying to unwind after a hard day at work. She was a career woman, spending years at college to earn her degree and get a head start in life, it had paid off and now in her early twenties she was the district manager for a large chain of fast food restaur...
Karen had been waiting for this moment for over a year. Here she was; in the Cascade forest all by her self; the further away from home the better for her.

~~Antoinette~~ Deep within her tower, she sat at a table with an array of laptops, tablets, and artifacts. The resonance circle sat empty, and she had her chandelier to a normal white light. The necklace that had summoned the odd spirit of secrets sat in front of her, and she stared at it as she folded her arms across her chest. Should she tell Avery of he...
~~Jack~~ He would have facepalmed, if he wasn't too busy staring at the catastrophe. If they were Invictus, they'd have been stunned at the sheer audacity of Madam Herrington. To a Carthian, it was an invitation to a fist fight. And Garry looked liked he pissed and shit fist fights. He drew back his fist, and punched his fellow Gangrel in the face. A cour...
CHAPTER 16 I was on review and advised that I did not have permission to execute any warrants. Instead, requests from the media poured in. This was unexpected, but what surprised me even more was the emotion coming from Ezra. It wasn't extreme by any means, but it was for Ezra. Regardless of the lack of healthy sleep, every morning I had the opportunity to...
It was the time of the year to travel south. Everyone knew it. It was less than half a moon since Ivory's village celebrated the Autumn Equinox with traditional solemnity, but the snow had settled at night and not melted, the mammoths were restless, and the sky was thick with flying geese. "Tomorrow!" announced Chief Cave Lion. "Today we gather what we need...
Clouds obscured the stars and moon when Glade and Demure emerged from their shelter carrying as many of their belongings as they could in deer-hide sacks, but more than the dark what mostly helped secure the lovers' escape as they crept away from the Raft People's village towards the Great Sea was that the rest of the village was far more preoccupied with ot...
