Never Show Fear

Join familiar, much-loved characters and gain an insight into the KINDRED WORLD with this enthralling anthology of short stories!

Included in this collection of exciting tales from the kindred are the following titles and points of view:

~ ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL (Amisi’s POV)

“Nosferatin,” he says, and imbues it with power, with his Sanguis Vitam. It calls to me. I dance and spin, and he laughs, and something in his aura sings; a song it has sung before but not for centuries. It is sad and joyous, lonely and complete. It changes everything. . .

~ THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY (Michel’s POV)

“I lost our daughter,” I say with as much dignity as I can muster. Which, in the face of an irate Nosferatin, is very little dignity. I can sense the silver in her jacket’s pockets. I can sense Lucinda’s need to reach for it. I do the only thing I can think of. I step closer to the danger and swallow the distance between us. “Ma douce,” I say softly. . .

~ LET THERE BE LIGHT (Luc’s POV)

I watch for a few more moments and then step out of the shadows. If Zahra is not aware I am here, then I will eat my stake in a heartbeat. Delaying this meeting only makes me appear weak. Never show fear. Even if it’s fear of the woman who entwines your soul with hers, and who threatens to entwine your heart along with it. . .

~ HOME SWEET HOME (Yves’ POV)

I am alone, but not unarmed. I carry two silver stakes — my most prized possessions — which I wrap my sweaty palms around inside their pockets. My heart beats too fast, and it takes everything in me to remember what I have been taught and to slow it. I stand still in the shadow of a patisserie’s stoop and breathe in a measured cadence. The vampire stills too, all but invisible in its shadow. It waits; a patient hunter. . .

NEVER SHOW FEAR bridges Part I of KINDRED which ends with DREAMING OF A BLOOD RED CHRISTMAS and Part II which begins with DARKLIGHT.
