Alan Furst Latest Novel Novels & Stories

The noose around the fortress was tightening. Meanwhile, Alara spent her morning far from the swirling tension, tucked away in the quiet of the fortress archives. She had drifted there after a restless night, seeking refuge in the tall shelves of ancient tomes and scrolls that smelled of dust and ink. The clerk, Alden, barely paid her any mind, immersed in reorganizing ledgers. Alara found a corner table with piles of genealogical records, some referencing unusual wolf lineages rumored to carry magic from ages past.

The marsh beyond the hollow walls stirred as if holding its breath. She felt everything. Rowan’s fury. Lucien’s hunger. Her own rising storm. She lifted her hands—fire and frost blazing in perfect symmetry. The marsh answered. Roots erupted through the floor in long, twisting spears. Fire burst from her palms in a column of gold, but frost intertwined with it—blue-white veins snapping through the flames like ice lightning. Wolves howled as frost sealed their paws to the stone, while the fire seared the air around them.

The fluorescent lights in Block C continued their endless, maddening flicker, casting long, sickly shadows that danced like ghosts across the concrete walls. The stench of the prison never faded it seeped into every pore, a constant reminder that this was hell, and Isabel Chen was its unwilling queen. Four days had passed since her arrest, and the once-elegant woman had transformed into something sharper, more dangerous. Bruises from the previous day's fight still bloomed across her ribs, but she wore them like badges of honor.

I was lonely and now horny from thinking about being stretched by an older man’s cock. “Okay, you can do this, Piper,” I whispered, encouraging myself. I knocked softly, testing the water if he was asleep or not. When no answer came back, I knocked again once more, softer this time around. I turned to leave when the door swung open and there stood Alpha Callum. He was just wearing plain pajama pants and a shirt. His hand rested on the door frame, veins coming more pronounced. I wondered how it would feel like to have his arm wrapped around me… or what else could be veiny.

Keondra stepped back in a low whine. She stood before the mirror, her eyes fixed on the reflection that stared back. The glassy surface revealed a creature that was both familiar and yet, utterly alien. The fur was matted with blood, her eyes glowed with an unnatural light, a piercing red that seemed to burn with an inner fire. Red saliva dripped from the corners of her mouth, forming a sticky thread that clung to the furry chin. Her gaze wandered down her body, taking in the thick, muscular limbs, the razor-sharp claws that gleamed like polished bone.

"I know." Reese lifted his leg and knocked my buttocks with his knee. I gave him a pat on the arm for it, but before we could really start fighting - not that we ever did - a man in his early thirties stepped out from between the cubicles and came up to us smiling. He wore glasses and had his hair cut so short that I couldn't tell whether it was dark blonde or brown. He seemed to have a slight posture, which he hunched a little, but wow, the muscles that were visible under his sweater certainly didn't come from chilling on the couch. "Hi." He nodded to me and held out his hand to Reese. "I'm Anton Faust and you have to be Reese Tack, the Venator from the guild in Berlin."

he said, already grabbing one from the floor. “But you’re the Alpha…” “And I’ve got two hands, just like you.” “But it’s a curse for me if you’re helping me…” “Then may the moon goddess forgive us both,” he muttered, brushing my hand as he passed a book to me. My breath hitched. He didn’t seem to notice. And then… it happened. His fingers landed on a soft brown cover. The journal! Tasha’s journal! My fingers froze; my entire body went cold. Please don’t open it. Please don’t open it. Please don’t open it.

"But I am grateful for every twist and turn because it led us here—to this moment, to this place of healing and growth." Sarah smiles warmly. "Life has a way of surprising us, doesn't it? And even in the midst of the darkest storms, we found each other, offering solace, strength, and unwavering support." Ruth's gaze drifts towards the horizon, her eyes shimmering with a newfound sense of determination. "We've come so far, and now we stand at the threshold of endless possibilities. Let's embrace this newfound chapter with open hearts and open minds." As the fire crackles and dances before us, we clasp hands, forming a circle of unity.

Was he really stalking her? A strange chill ran down her spine and she clenched her fist together. Evan wasn't only a vengeful bastard but a creepy stalker too. Aurora shook her head, her gaze darting to the door once more. She'd managed to steal the key from Rosa when she wasn't looking and if she was caught now, she knew that there was bound to be trouble. So, she had to move fast. She searched through the other files but found nothing incriminating. Aurora decided what to do then, she returned back to her folder and permanently deleted all 247 images with a satisfying click.
