Tabitha Barret
Release Date: April 25, 2017
When threatened
by a powerful enemy, what lengths will she go to in order to save someone she
loves?
Anjali, while
recovering from a failed coup attempt in Hell, must battle false gods who plan
to wreak havoc on the Mortal Realm. She must hunt an old foe and bring him back
to the Hall of Shadows before he creates an army large enough to transform the
mortals into werewolves. Is she strong enough to fight the gods or will they
use her to conquer the world?
Tristan, the
Angel of Fear, has learned how to survive by ignoring the terror inside of him
and blindly walking through his day. Though he once wished his Master, Anjali,
was dead, secretly he knows that she is the only one who can help him become
the angel he was meant to be. Will he stand by her side against a dreaded
enemy, or will he betray her in order to be free?
A chance meeting
one night with a vengeful god turns Liam Leavitt’s world into a living
nightmare. Now, there are two voices in his head: one is the woman he prays can
save him from a terrible fate, and the other is the Wolf God who will do
anything to bend Liam to his will. Can love protect him from becoming a
helpless puppet, or will loving her lead to his demise?

Excerpt:
He sniffed the
air and gagged when smoky air filled his nostrils. It smelled like a campfire without the
marshmallows. He had to cough to clear
his throat. That’s when the sweet scent
of something he couldn’t place hit his senses and made his heart speed up. His entire body responded to the scent. It wasn’t flowery, but it was distinctly
feminine.
Hearing the sound
again, he recognized it was a heart beating.
He opened his eyes and jumped out of his bed, ready to defend himself.
He panicked when
his eyes focused on his surroundings and he realized that he wasn’t in his
bedroom. He was standing next to a large
bed with black sheets. Sitting on the
edge of the bed was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He was momentarily dazed by her lovely blue
eyes. She appeared startled, but gave
him a guarded smiled.
She didn’t speak
right away, which was fine by him. He
was too busy examining her long black hair and red lips. She had an unusual formal dress that made her
look like a Goth girl, except it showed off her pale skin all the way to her
stomach. He tried not to stare at her
cleavage, but she was a welcomed sight after seeing the intimidating man in the
woods.
“Where am I?” he
finally asked, deciding it was time to speak to the gorgeous woman.
“You’re somewhere
safe,” she said. This time she gave him
a full-blown smile that reached her eyes.
“Who are you?” he
asked bluntly.
“I’m Anjali,
Burke’s daughter. He called me after
what happened. He thought that I might
be able to help you,” she said softly.
He didn’t know
Burke had any kids, but after seeing his daughter, he understood why he would
hide her away. He wondered why Burke had
called her, unless she was a zookeeper.
He gulped as the
events of the day came rushing back. He
remembered lying in the tub and seeing his skin split open to reveal white fur. He saw Burke’s bleak expression when he
explained the awful truth of his situation.
He heard Dylan sobbing and apologizing for getting him into this mess. The incident in the park seemed like a bad
dream, but his transformation felt like a horror movie.
Feeling like his
legs would give out he slumped down on the bed.
“I really thought it was all a dream,” he sighed, putting his hand over
his mouth. “Everything is so jumbled; I
can’t remember things in the right sequence.
I really turned into a wolf, didn’t I?”
She nodded. “Yes, you did. You were attacked by a wolf named Fenris...”
He quickly stood
up and put up his hand to stop her. “It
has a name?” he asked skeptically.
She bit her lip
and scooted closer.
A man, whom he
hadn’t noticed before, was suddenly standing next to him with a Beretta 9mm
aimed at his head. Liam quickly thought
of a way to disarm the man, but Anjali stood up and put her hand on the man’s
other arm. “This is Calin, and he’s not
going to shoot you,” she replied.
“Then why is he
pointing a gun at me?” Liam asked defensively.
His body was still coiled, ready to punch Calin and take his gun.
Anjali glared at
Calin. “That’s his way of saying
hello.” She tilted her head and motioned
for Calin to back away.
“I see,” Liam
said cautiously.
Calin,
thankfully, lowered his gun and sat down on a red plush chair across the room.
Liam vaguely
wondered why he only heard the thumping of one heart, but decided that he
didn’t want to question it; otherwise, he would have to question why he could
clearly hear someone’s heart beating.
He shook his head
and stared at the woman. “I have no idea
what’s going on, but if you have a way to fix this, I’m listening.” He looked at Calin from the corner of his eye
to make sure he was still on the couch.
She cleared her
throat and smiled. “Liam, there is a lot
you need to learn about Fenris and why this is happening. Unfortunately, I’m not sure where or how to
begin because I don’t have all the answers.
I can only tell you what I know so far.
First of all, I’m sorry to say that you can’t go back to your old
life. When Fenris’ venom entered your
body, it changed you permanently. If you
go back home, you might hurt or kill someone accidentally. You could shift and become the wolf without
thinking, which is why I prefer you to stay here. Secondly, Fenris will do anything to find
you. I don’t know what he wants from you
exactly, but he creates followers called, die Drei. They are very loyal to him and they will do
whatever he asked of them. Please understand
that Fenris is the bad guy, so you have to find a way to fight him no matter
what he says to you. Lastly, I need you
to trust that I will do everything I can to keep you safe and to keep you from
losing yourself to the wolf. There is a
very real possibility that the wolf could take over your thoughts and
feelings. If you aren’t careful, Liam
could disappear,” she said sadly.
He ran his hand
through his hair and scrubbed his face.
“This is ridiculous! How could my
life have gone to crap so quickly? I
didn’t ask for any of this. At no point
did I ever say, hey I want to work for a giant scary man who can turn into a
wolf. There has to be a way to stop
this. I don’t want to hurt anyone and I
don’t want to be anyone’s follower. What
am I supposed to do?” he asked, frustrated by what she was saying. A sudden flood of emotions overwhelmed him,
though anger quickly made its way to the forefront.
