*SAMPLE ONLY* A Cursed Bloodline. A Bloodthirsty Beast. A Single Bite. The only thing Loren Bell cared about was passing all of her college finals and getting some much needed sleep. She didn't account on having a dropped down, dragged out fight for her life with a mythical creature (who by all accounts shouldn't exist). Hanging on by a thread she ended up in the clutches of a mysterious man named Solomon Kane and his team of hunters known only as spiders. In an attempt to escape, Loren comes face to face with another prisoner, Niklaus Grimm. A Lycan who was losing the battle with his beast. The unlikely pair formed an alliance leaving Niklaus to help Loren as the bite she received awakens the Lycaon gene in her body. As they navigate their fragile bond, things become more complicated as old friends turn to enemies and insidious plans begin to unfurl around them. Niklaus knows that his only weakness now is the fragile female with hair as fiery as her tongue. He can only hope that he has the power to protect her, because they are willing to destroy her if it means getting what they want.

He was the Moon's Dark Comet, and served Her anger. For the accumulated sins of our kind, he had been unleashed. I was an Oracle, the Balance-Keeper, to see that the Comet did not sway from its intended trajectory. We had always been these things, and we were those things before we were anything else. Complete trust and faith were for fools. /********* This is now a sample of a published book. *************/

(Rewritten Version) Scarlett is hunting. Hunting a threat she doesn't understand. A threat she only knows from a voice in her distant memory. She's searching for the voice and the man along with it. Why? She doesn't know. Who? She doesn't care. She just remembers three words - a short promise. "I'll find you." A fierce bloodlust is driving her, egging her on to the extremes. No one is to stand in her way - no authority can make her bow down. No man, Wolf or other can make her submit. No words can sting and no weapon will wound her. Insane with the lust but proven sane with her flawless logic, she is a force to be reckoned with. The Voice may try to find her. But she'll find him first, and when she does, he'll have wished that those three words had never left his lips. It's a race for the kill. Let the hunt begin.
