Sobre IBD

Grief spawns the darkest magic… A werewolf who escapes into his wolf form to hide from the pain of losing his family. A widower who makes a deal with a demon to find his wife’s killer. A haunted house where a long-dead woman can get a second chance at life… if she’s willing to pay the price. The pain of loss is universal. But for those in touch with the magical world, grief takes on new and dangerous dimensions. It’s all too tempting to use magic as an escape from pain… or to lash out at the ones who caused it. In these six standalone contemporary fantasy stories, supernatural beings from werewolves to aliens to demon hunters taste that temptation—and discover a different kind of magic waiting for them on the other side of their pain. This collection includes the following short stories:Into the LightHow to Be RememberedA Little BloodInnocentBrotherhood of Lost SoulsWhere the Wolves Run Free
