About the
book:
"My
name is Rylee and I am a Tracker."
When
children go missing, and the Humans have no leads, I'm the one they call. I am
their last hope in bringing home the lost ones. I salvage what they cannot.
The
clock is ticking and I can feel the weight of the final battle with the demon
hordes looming over my head. The puzzle pieces are becoming clearer, but the
casualty list is growing. And with each name that is added to those we've lost,
my confidence cracks a little more.
Yet
there is hope.
A
child saved.
A
life lost.
A
prophecy fulfilled.
Excerpt from Wounded (Adult)“You don’t think that all of the disasters that humanity has faced were all natural, do you? The bubonic plague is a good example. It was blamed on a number of things. Rats, the Jewish people, punishment from God. It all led to a cleansing of anything unusual. Mostly supernaturals, who were trying to blend in, and in that process the humans wiped out many of their best defenders against the demon population, which then went on to spread the plague across the world. But that is just one example.”“What was the point though, wouldn’t the demons have wanted people to be alive so they could possess them?” Liam asked.Erik gave a ruthful smile. “Yes and no. The bubonic plague wasn’t so much about killing people off, as it was infecting them. Making them weak and easier to possess. The plague compromised their immune systems, allowing them to be taken over. Especially the young.”Something about what Erik said sent a twang through my brain. I struggled to put the pieces together that floated just out of reach. Damn it. Liam touched my arm. “What?”I closed my eyes and pressed my palms into them, blocking out any light. “Just let me think for a minute.”The feel of the night air and the sound of the fountain filled my ears as I looked at the pieces one by one.Demons escaped in London who bred fast.Minor supernaturals were being possessed by lesser demons and evil spirits.Packs of Orion’s demons were free to cause chaos.The only thing we were missing was a plague and then Orion would have access to all the young people he wanted. The urge to vomit swelled up through my stomach and burned the back of my throat.“Children are normally hard to possess, aren’t they?” That was why it had taken a full pentagram when the black coven was trying to have India possessed so many months ago. At least, that was what I understood.Bert bobbed his head. “Yes, it can be very difficult to possess a child. There is a natural protection over the young when it comes to demons, something the elementals put into play.” He grimaced as he said ‘elemental’ and again I wondered at these particular supernaturals that I’d only just been hearing about. “But when the small humans are ill, that protection goes into keeping them alive, rather than keeping them from being possessed.”Feeling like a bully, but not really caring, I leaned in to Bert. “How did the bubonic plague really start?”An interesting thing happened. Bert paled and shook his head. “I can’t tell you.”My eyebrows shot up and I glanced at Erik. “You want to make him talk, or do you want me to make him talk?”Erik shrugged. “Either way is fine. I haven’t interrogated a demon in years. I’ve missed it.”Bert paled even more and his lower lip trembled. “I can’t tell you. I can’t. Tracker, Slayer both of you have to trust me. Please.”“Begging will get you nowhere, little demon.” Erik growled. He had a short, serrated knife in his hand that he’d pulled from somewhere within his robes. It was curved, like a skinning knife, and if it hadn’t been for the rough edges that’s what I would have called it.“Track demons and evil spirits.” Bert blurted out as he fell to his knees. “Proof I am on your side. Track them; you’ll see it isn’t me fooling you.”Erik paused and looked over at me. “Up to you. Personally, I’d just as soon dice him up.”“Fuck, why not, Tracking will take me two seconds.” I grumbled.I send out a thread to Track demons as a whole, paired with a thread for evil spirits, just to satisfy—Holy. Fucking. Hell.I swayed on my feet and went to one knee, the overwhelming wash of pings I got back seriously making me re-think getting out of bed the day before.We were surrounded by Orion’s minions.Hundreds of them.
