Book Description:
This is a prequel to Haven. These events occur three
months before Haven starts
Clothed in
darkness and power, Jonas watches Carina from the periphery of her life. With
all that he is, he secretly protects his young charge from harm. Only three
months remain in the twelve-year prohibition forbidding contact with his little
warrior when he fails.
Abducted
from her dance club, Carina suffers a vicious attack by a newly-turned vampire.
Jonas’s retribution for the lowly spawn’s code violation is swift and brutal,
and merely the beginning of his vengeance. Fineas, the uninitiated newling’s
maker, has committed the greater offense. And Jonas intends to make him suffer.
I am The Executioner, the slayer, the ruthless hand of
justice. Code Breakers beware.
Short Excerpt:
“You touched her.”
Jonas’s sword whistled through the air and sliced off the cowering
vampire’s hand in one clean blow. It plopped into the mud. The hatchling howled
in agony. Clutching his bleeding arm to his chest, he trembled at Jonas’s feet.
“You kicked her.”
The sword sang down again, lopping off one leg just below the
knee. The lifeless limb joined the other in the mud.
The vampire peon passed out.
Jonas shoved his sword into the ground and grabbed the vampire by
the hair, holding him aloft with ease. He summoned his power and pushed it into
the wounded man, forcing him back to consciousness.
Awakened once again, the vampire screamed, eyes wide with horror.
Jonas bared his fangs. “You bit her.”
He plunged them into the weakling’s neck. He tore a flap of flesh
from the front then spat it onto the growing pile of body parts at his feet.
“No more.” With one practiced twist, he wrenched the vampire’s
head from his body.
The headless corpse crumpled to the ground. Jonas tossed the head onto
the bloody heap, collected his sword and stalked into the night.
