In last week’s excerpt from Fangs and Fists: Grit, the hero is introduced to the leaders of the rebellion against the demon masters. This excerpt continues the scene.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
She extended her hand to him and Grit shook it, noting that her grip was quite firm for a mortal woman.
“What do you intend to do with me?” Grit asked, glancing at the leaders. He could have fled the city after escaping the tower, but he had chosen to stay. His son, his former mate and his friends were headed back to the woods, but unless the demons were stopped, they wouldn’t be safe. No one would be safe. Grit would give his life a second time, if necessary, to see the demons unseated so that Jett and all other cubs, whether human or wolf, could grow up in freedom.
“You’ve made it clear that you want to join the rebellion,” Blaxton said. “And we’re willing to accept you, but your situation is unusual, to say the least. You’ve been resurrected by a demon. How do we know you won’t cause more harm than good?”
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.

Seems Blaxton has some valid concerns. But, I think, Grit has a lot of knowledge she doesn’t.
Hopefully he won’t have to give his life a second time. Once is more than enough.

Good question! Really an intriguing story, great snippet.
Good question. Is the demon available to explain?
That last question. Good one. Will she trust him? I guess we’ll see as this unfolds.
You written a great tragic hero in Grit. I’m invested and rooting for him. 🙂
Fantastic snippet and question! Can’t wait to see his response!
