The chill of the Blackwood brothers was a physical presence, cutting through the humid air of the Labyrinth like a north wind. Anna pushed Sophie behind a stack of glowing fungal crates, her eyes darting. She could hear them—two distinct heartbeats, one a thunderous drum had to be Killian, the other a cold, measured cadence.Julian.

"Stay here. Don't move," Anna commanded, her hand already glowing with a suppressed, protective McKinnley ward.

Then, a voice echoed from above,Killian's. "Anna Jameson! Or should I call you little McKinnley? Little Devonshire? Come out, come out, wherever you are."

Anna stepped onto a narrow, precarious bridge of carved stone, high above the bustling Half-Market. Killian stood at the other end, silhouetted against the swirling aurora of the Labyrinth’s ceiling. He was in his human form, but his eyes glowed with an internal golden fire, and the air around him crackled with unrestrained power.

"You really didn't think I’d just let you vanish, did you?" Killi

  • Half Blood Shadow   There's no place like ... .where am I?

    The sedan moved through the mountain fog like a ghost, the engine’s hum the only sound in a cabin thick with unspoken tension. They were headed toward the fringe of the city, a place where the supernatural bled into the mundane, and where the old crone’s shop stood as a neutral waypoint between worlds.The geopolitical landscape of North Carolina had shifted overnight. Usually, the territorial boundaries between packs were strictly enforced, but the current situation was so volatile that the neighboring clans had retreated behind their borders. The combination of a Blackwood civil war, a Devonshire massacre, and the resurrection of McKinnley necromancy was a toxic cocktail. No one,not even the Warlock Council, notorious for their interference,wanted to be the third party in a bloodbath involving the "Gray."In the backseat, Anna was a statue. She was pulling at the threads of her lineage, sorting through the ancestral "Concentration" that now lived in her marrow. Beside her, Killian w

  • Half Blood Shadow   Nothing Else Matters 

    The transition from the warmth of the baths to the freezing air of the war room was jarring. The sun reached its zenith, casting long, harsh shadows across the maps spread out on the central table. Julian was already there. He hadn't slept; his eyes were ringed with red, and the air around him was so cold that frost had begun to patterns the edges of the mahogany table.He didn't offer greetings. He simply pointed to a jagged line on the parchment."The Lich-Alpha’s power is tied to the Ley-Nodes," Julian rasped, his voice sounding like breaking ice. "The sun will weaken his grip on the dead, but it won't stop the 'peeling.' If we don't breach the cabin by nightfall, Sophie won't just be dead. She’ll be a shell."Anna stepped forward, her black leather armor buckled tight, her McKinnley eyes glowing with a quiet, lethal intensity. "We don't go for the cabin first. We go for the anchor. If we don't destroy the object Asmodeus left in the Labyrinth, he'll just keep regenerating. We have

  • Half Blood Shadow   Through

    The heavy oak doors of Blackwood Manor groaned shut, sealing out the stench of rot, but the silence inside was louder than the war outside. Julian did not speak. He didn't look back at the broken fountain or the blood-stained snow. He moved like a ghost of a king, his footsteps echoing up the marble stairs until the click of his bedroom door signaled his retreat into a private, freezing hell.They had to wait. The Lich-Alpha was a creature of the moon and the grave; they would strike when the sun was at its zenith, using the solar light to peel back the necrotic shadows that shielded him.Anna felt as though her skin were vibrating. The concentration of McKinnley spirits she had channeled left her nerves raw, her senses overloaded. She retreated to the bathing chambers, a cavernous room of white stone and deep, sunken pools fed by the manor’s thermal springs.She shed the silver-lined armor, her hands trembling as the leather hit the floor. The steam rose in thick, white clouds, smell

  • Half Blood Shadow   The Way Back

    The air in the courtyard, once crisp with winter, turned rancid. It was the smell of a shallow grave opened in mid-July;cloying, sweet, and utterly wrong.Asmodeus didn’t look like a defeated man. He looked like a man who had been waiting for the exact moment of his greatest humiliation to unleash his greatest atrocity. With a trembling, blood-slicked hand, he brought a vial of glowing, sickly green liquid to his cracked lips."Your mother was so talented," he rasped, his eyes bulging as the potion began to take effect. "I didn't just kill her, Anna. I took her. I kept her for days ….years even in the cellar of the old cabin, peeling the magic from her skin like fruit. She begged for you... and while she begged, she taught me the secrets of the McKinnley grave-speak. She taught me Necromancy."He downed the liquid.The transformation was a horror. Asmodeus’s skin didn't shift; it sloughed. His fur fell out in clumps of wet rot, revealing gray, translucent muscle and bone. He grew, but

  • Half Blood Shadow   The Art of War

    The descent down the grand staircase of Blackwood Manor felt like a march through time itself. The air was thick with the scent of ozone and ancient stone. As Anna’s silver-lined boots clicked against the black marble, the psychic tether between her and Killian flared, triggered by the weight of the coming war.Suddenly, the present blurred.Through the bond with Killian, Anna was pulled into a hereditary memory—a ghost of the manor’s blood-soaked past. She saw the foyer as it was seventy years ago, bathed in the orange glow of torchfire.Descending these same stairs was Lachlan Blackwood, the brothers' grandfather. He was a mountain of a man, his Alpha aura so potent it made the shadows dance. Waiting for him at the base of the stairs, flanked by snarling, red-pelted wolves, was Arhen Devonshire—a patriarch whose cruelty made the current air feel cold.Arhen had come for his own son, Niall. Niall had committed the ultimate Devonshire sin: he had fallen for a mortal woman, a soft-hear

  • Half Blood Shadow   Clear

    The mist of the In-Between shifted, swirling from the cold stone of the Manor back into the suffocating humidity of an Appalachian summer 21 years ago.Anna wasn't a warrior here; she was a weight in a car seat, her tiny lungs stinging with the scent of burnt sage and gasoline. Through the rear window, she saw the dark SUVs of the Blackwood Clan weaving through the trees, closing the distance.Her mother, Elara, was a fever of motion in the driver’s seat. She was screaming incantations, her knuckles white on the wheel, her eyes wide with a terror that Anna had always misinterpreted. Anna had spent a lifetime believing those wolves were hunters.But as the memory slowed, the perspective shifted. She saw the lead Blackwood Enforcer,a younger, scarred version of the men she’d seen at the Gala,reaching out a hand, not to strike, but to signal a defensive formation. They weren't there to kill the hybrid child. They were the secret guard, sent by the Blackwood Alpha to honor a blood-pact ma
