Coming October 22nd to Less Than Three Press

Najlah is on the hunt for the traitorous coward who attempted to assassinate the king and nearly killed Najlah’s brother in the process. But the hunt has taken them deep into the Shide, the treacherous, freezing mountains controlled by the mysterious Lukos, feral wolf shifters who do not tolerate trespassers.

When the Lukos come upon them, Najlah is reluctantly intrigued. The Lukos, especially the one called Barkus, are nothing like the soft humans he spends most of his time around. They thrive in the brutal cold the way he thrives in volcanic fire. For the first time, it feels like Najlah may have found someone who can equal the fierceness of dragons, and see them as more than demons.

But if he hopes to explore the bond forming with the Lukos, he must first survive the enemy—and the Shide.

This was originally published in Dracones. LT3 has since re-edited it, and I’ve expanded it by about 6,000 words (and promised my editor and roommate I would write a sequel, cause I’m not allowed to do one shots for anything? Life full of suffering :3)

It’ll go up on LT3 and GR in a couple of weeks, but I’m really excited about the cover and wanted to show it off ^__^ It's by Julie Wright of Lesser Key Studios. She also did the cover for The Merman and the Barbarian Pirate

Hope everybody has a good week!
