Seth Anderson has finally found sanctuary in Brier, Iowa. Even better, he's found Rafe: a strong, giant of a man who owns the town pool hall. Seth has never been so close to anyone. When he's asked to give a series of lectures in Washington, DC, it seems only natural that Rafe come along. In a few, surreal days, his true nature is exposed and he brings both their lives crashing down around them.

Because Seth is not only a werewolf; he's also something much, much worse.

Existential questions should never be asked on Saturdays.

Lone is the first book in my upcoming Ravager Chronicles series. It will be a total of four novels set in my Nightkin world. The Nightkin are a group of beings that consist of vampires, werewolves, warlocks, and seers. Although each subset is very different, they have no innate animosity toward each other.

The characters in this story range from sweet to mysterious to terrifying. The one thing they have in common is that they are outsiders in a community of outsiders.

Lone is one of my favorite stories. It's sexy and funny and heartbreaking at times. I'm glad I get to revisit the characters in Book Two.
