Jack Devlin awakes with a shotgun pointed at his face. Sally, a whore, lay dead beside him. He’s arrested for murder, although he remembers nothing of the previous night. Could he really have killed her? And if so, why? He has questions, but some folks in the town of Gasher Creek don’t want them answered. And after a lynch mob storms the jail, he manages to escape into the vast and empty prairie. Now he has no food, no water, and no horse. And he’s not alone. Meanwhile, Sheriff Tom Tracker is missing his prime suspect. He’s certain Jack is the murderer, but without a confession he’ll need evidence. What he finds is unlike anything he’s ever seen before. If Devlin is guilty, then he isn’t the simple odd jobs man everyone thinks he is. Instead, he’s something much more calculating and dangerous. Views: 16
The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi pure bloods have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals--well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures. Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden. Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem--staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden. And that would kind of suck. Views: 16
