Excerpt

When the trees cleared, the witch side of me pulled back the reins. I knew where I was and it was the last place I needed to be. A small line of tourists had just left a morning tour when the buildings registered as the distillery. Elizar’s distillery. One elderly couple caught sight of me and gasped, making a scene that had a domino effect. I went back towards the trees and found a magical barrier in my way. Had my carelessness as a werewolf, giving in to those primal instincts, inadvertently signed my death warrant? Werewolves had their territory and I had exposed myself to the town’s most powerful caster. I lunged at the barricade to no avail. He had me trapped.

“Isn’t this an interesting turn of events”, came the smooth voice of that notorious warlock, “and to top it all off, it’s my favored enchantress. You broke a sacred rule of mine so…what will we do now?”

I had just signed away my life.
