Paxton never wanted to be part of the war his father led, but the hands of fate had plans for him. Plans that would lead him to a single moment where he had to make a decision.
Save himself or save the girl that a mysterious old woman he met on a trial in the middle of no where said would be very important.
But even death can't stop the hands of fate when you live in a world of dark magic.
This is a companion novella that can be read before or after Darkness Sleeping and is told from Paxton's point of view.
Jen Pretty is a well- known and prolific writer of smart urban fantasies. Her novels are character driven, witty, often violent, and with a liberal sprinkling of coarse language. Some of her books genre-hop into mythology, pulling characters and situations from a variety of sources. When not writing, Jen can be found in the barn with her horses, or knee-deep in the vegetable garden at her home in rural Ontario, Canada, which she shares with her husband, three children, and a white husky dog named Salt.
