First Watch

by Nicole R. Ordway

The Wild Hunt waits for no man in this thrilling second novella of the “Civil Dusk” series. Hugh Reid and his foster Hunt-hound Ozlo are challenged by Odin to secure a Hall, raise a Host, and complete their own Wild Hunt before the culmination of Yule. To do so Hugh engages in an immersive adventure through Orkney’s key historical periods, engaging with spirits from the Viking era to World War II and HMS Royal Oak, to 17th century Skaill House. If they fail, Odin will complete the Hunt himself to dire effect. But who or what is the target? Can they chase down their prey in only seven days? And will it all be for naught when Odin’s Hunt returns to reclaim the Hunt-hound after a year? Nicole R. Ordway lives in Virginia Beach, VA. Her debut novel (Hollow Thunder), its sequel (The Loyalty of Dew), and the first book in the Civil Dusk series (Civil Dusk) are all available through HCS Publishing and at amazon.com.
