SunriseCan't you dig any faster?”Link and I glared at Ridley from where we stood, a few feet down in Macon's grave. The one he'd never spent a minute in. I was alreadydripping, and the sun wasn't even up yet. Link, with his newfound strength, had yet to break a sweat.“No, we can't. And yes, I know you're totally grateful we're doin’ this instead a...

Siren's TearsRidley stood in her room at Ravenwood, the room that used to belong to Macon. But nothing remained the same except the four walls, aceiling, and a floor, and possibly the paneled bedroom door.Which she shut, with a heavy click, and bolted. She turned to face her room, her back against the door. Macon had decided to take anotherroom at...

New BloodFor once I wasn't dreaming. It was Lucille's hissing that woke me up. I rolled over, Lena curled up next to me. It was still hard to believe she washere and she was safe. It was the thing I had wanted most in the world, and now I had it. How often did that happen? The waning moon outsidemy bedroom window was so bright, I could see her eyelashes...

Darkness and LightLena stood straight and tall, a dark silhouette against the moon. She didn't cry, and she wasn't screaming. Her feet had settled on the ground,on either side of the giant crack that now marked the cave, splitting it almost entirely in two.“What just happened?” Liv was looking at Amma and Arelia for answers.I followed Lena's eyes across...

The Way Back HomeI couldn't sleep anymore. I had crashed hard last night, on the familiar pine-board floor of Lena's room. We had both passed out, still wearingour clothes. Twenty-four hours later, it was weird to be in my own room, in a bed again, after sleeping between tree roots on muddy forest floors. Ihad seen too much. I got up and shut my window,...

Dark FireWhen we reached the base of the cliff, we hid behind a rock formation a few yards from the cave. Two Incubuses were guarding the entrance,talking in low tones. I recognized the scarred one from Macon's funeral. “Great.” Two Blood Incubuses, and we weren't even inside. I knew therest of the pack couldn't be far away.“Leave them to me, but you...

Seventeen MoonsThe Blood Incubuses reacted first, dematerializing one by one, and reappearing in pack formation. I recognized Scarface, the Incubus fromMacon's funeral. He was in the front, his black eyes calculating. Hunting was predictably nowhere in sight, too important for simple slaughter.But Larkin was standing in front of them, a black snake...

Army of OneMacon was insistent. He was in no condition to go anywhere, but he knew we didn't have a lot of time, and he was determined to go with us. Ididn't argue, because even a weakened Macon Ravenwood was more resourceful than four powerless Mortals. I hoped.I knew where we had to go.
