Shadow Stalker: Destiny Reconciled Part 1 (Episode 5) Excerpt

By Renee Scattergood

The sudden change in his demeanor made me giggle. It felt good to laugh again. I wasn't sure I could.

Kado grinned. "I haven't seen any venomous plants, but keep your eyes open."

"Okay." Back to business as usual. I didn't see any of the plants either, thankfully. And there was plenty of wood around after the storm that hit a couple weeks before.

When I returned, Kado was gone. Maybe he had gone to get some wood as well, but normally he would say so. I was about to call for him when he came out of the mist nearly on top of me.

He chuckled.

Demon Hunt Excerpt-Reblog

Demon Hunt is the novella prequel to Renee’s Shadow Stalker serial novel. It tells the story of the trip referred to in Shadow Stalker that Kado and Auren had taken before the time covered in the novel.

And without further ado, here’s the excerpt.

“Wait!” Kado said, holding up his hand to halt her. There was a hole in the ground where a large rock might have been. The dirt underneath was still wet so it couldn’t have been moved too long ago. Blades of grass were bent and pressed into the ground nearby, the size of the demon’s foot. “It went this way.”
