Instead of dusting the rich soil from my gloves, I rubbed it in, letting it absorb. Then I rose, standing tall as I retraced my steps back to him.
Noah was right. Bad men fed off the lifeblood of society’s forbearance, growing fat off of second chances and greedy from due process. There was only one way to deal with evil—to vanquish it back to hell where it had been spawned.
That was where we came in—the shepherds guiding a sick flock from one land into the next, the huntsmen who discovered those who’d gone astray. Like water over fire, we snuffed out the blaze spreading ruin among us . . . and the river was surging.
Predators had become prey, and me?
I, Grace Wolff, was a hunter.

About the Author
Nicole is a NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestselling author who got her humble start dictating books to her parents at the age of three and her big break nearly thirty years later when she signed her first publishing deal. She grew up an avid reader and writer who majored in Economics because a Creative Writing degree was lofty and impractical, not to mention a pipe dream. Irony, you wily fiend.
* * *
When she isn’t embroiled in a book, she spends her time playing wife and mom to her two favorite people in the world, and referee to their three rescue pets/wildlings. Nicole lives in the Evergreen State on the quieter side, ideal for an admitted recluse who enjoys the diversity of outdoor endeavors the Great Northwest offers.
