This week’s excerpt from Fangs and Fists: Grit, continues where last week’s left off. Grit, finally awake but without his memories intact, is being introduced to leaders of the rebellion against the demon masters.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
Zari motioned toward the second man, who looked to be around Grit’s height of six feet. He was slim with chiseled features and eyes such a pale blue that they reminded Grit of a frozen lake. The mass of black curls on his head lent him an almost boyish look, but there was nothing youthful or remotely vulnerable in his expression. “This is my leader — the Sovereign Vampire of the USA, Blaxton Ward.”
“The one who came over on the Mayflower,” Grit said, more to himself than to the others. Zari had told him about her leader during a previous conversation.
“Travel has improved since then,” Blaxton said, a faint, quirky smile on his lips.
“I’m Ashley Johnson, High Priestess of the White Pine Clan,” said the brown-haired woman. At first glance she wasn’t particularly remarkable. Of medium height and weight with a simple brown bob, she wore a casual black and white business suit. The eyes that stared at Grit from beneath her steel-rimmed glasses were the most penetrating he’d ever seen.
Grit
(Fangs and Fists)
by Kate Hill
Werewolf gladiator Grit faced his own mortality in the arena, only to be resurrected by a demon. Grit now lives a shadowy existence as one of the soulless, remembering only bits and pieces of his former life. Nonetheless, he recognizes evil and knows he must fight for the future of his young son, as well as the rest of the world.
Zari, a vampire warrior, helped Grit escape the tower where he had been imprisoned. She had feelings for Grit when they’d first met, but at the time he had been mated to another wolf. Now that he’s on his own, they’re free to explore their feelings as they fight side by side as part of the rebellion against the demons. In the midst of war, their love grows, but danger is everywhere.
Haylen, the demon who resurrected Grit, offers a bargain that may save or destroy the rebellion. Whatever the outcome, Zari and Grit intend to face it together and explore the once forbidden passion between them.
