Dark Child (The Awakening): Episode 5

by Adina West

Overview

Perfect for fans of The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, this intriguing urban fantasy follows the story of Kat Chanter, who discovers that the world she knows is controlled by ancient creatures who feed on blood. And she might just be one of them ...



Then she heard it; faintly at first, but quickly becoming louder. Her faint prickle of unease became a crawling apprehension that made every hair on her body stand on end. Because there was no mistaking the sound that was drawing ever closer. The excited baying, the mournful howls of wild creatures as they grouped and closed in for the kill.

Cold dread swept through her, chilling her to the bone. The pack was here.



The future seems hopeless, and Kat's life is in the balance. Is it possible that she holds the key to their survival? Because if she can't find a way to unlock the knowledge within herself, it won't just be her life that's forfeit, but also the lives of the unalil, and of their captive sister . . .

About the Author

Adina West grew up on a remote property on Australia's east coast, in country New South Wales. She spent most of her childhood curled up with a book, and her first teenage job was shelving books at the local library, where she was cautioned more than once for reading them instead of putting them away.



Her first stories were laboriously typed up with two fingers on her parents' old typewriter. Her dream of one day being a published writer progressed much faster after she learned to touch type and switched to a computer.



Adina lives in Sydney's leafy north-west with her IT guru husband, two children, and a couple of unwelcome possums who really don't know how to take a hint. Dark Child (The Awakening) was published by Momentum in 2013. Dark Child (Covens Rising), published in 2015, was her second novel. And Dark Child (Bloodsworn) is her third.
