    About this ebook

    Nayela was raised knowing she would lead her tribe one day. The day of her first blood. The day she becomes a woman. What she doesn't know is that the tribe's leader, her father, has been keeping a  secret since the day she was born. A secret that could kill her.
     

    After discovering the truth about a witch's curse foretelling of her gruesome death, Nayela sets out to make her own fate. But powerful, ancient magic, and the long, sharp fangs of the feral beast thirsty for her blood, are not so easy to escape.

    Author

    CC Dowling

    C.C. Dowling is an author who writes everything from gritty urban fantasy, to paranormal sci-fi, to steamy contemporary erotic romance (under a pen name of course!). C.C. currently lives in America's finest city, with her husband (the financial shaman), her two children (who love to play in the yard with the faeries), and her very real pet dragon (who guards the perimeter of her house at night).  When she’s not working or writing (which is still technically working), C.C. can be found playing a round of disc golf, or desperately trying to figure out which pair of sandals are the most appropriate for the harsh Southern California winters. You can find C.C. on Twitter @CCDowling, at her website www.ccdowingauthor.com, and on her official author Facebook group, Misfits & Mayhem [www.facebook.com/groups/DowlingMisfits/].

      Nayela awoke in her cave, the morning light just brightening the grey winter sky. The rich smell of roasting meat from outside, and the stench of sweat coating her large brow, couldn’t cover the perfume of womanhood. A pain deep in her gut forced her hand between her legs. Wet. Thick. Red .

      Sitting up, she moved aside her furs and peered at the crimson liquid spattering her thighs and staining the straw beneath her. Moon blood.

      Meya. She cried out the word, still half in her dream. But her meya would never answer. The woman who’d birthed her had died shortly after she was born.
