Chapter 13

The Enforcer’s roar was still echoing around the square when an explosion boomed from somewhere near the west side of Last Light. Rumbling aftershocks hit them all at once, followed by an ominous column of smoke rising from the second tier near the food district. 

Chapter 12

Windows and doors shuttered and bolted across Last Light as Lees and Ike raced through the alleyways toward the town’s central thoroughfare. The streets were eerily empty. Those who didn’t want to cross paths with the cutlass, or who knew better than to challenge their authority...

Chapter 6

Lees bolted back out into the cavern. The multicolored swirls flashing around her now seemed dim compared to the light she sought. Her eyes snapped to the right – there! Brilliant red bounced around as Meshi sprinted toward the cave wall with the stone clenched in his hand.
