untrained healer’s apprentice.
A shifter pack forced to go to
war.
And a curse that could swallow all of them whole.
Rini MacIllroy chafes at the

pack. They have stayed safe by keeping separate from humankind, but
the American Civil War encroaches on their village, and Rini’s
friends and lover are sent down the mountain to fight, while Rini
must stay behind.
When a deserting soldier
attacks a young girl, Rini jumps into action with tooth and claw. But
her rage unknowing unlocks an ancient curse that feeds on bloodshed
and violence. Now Rini is hunted through her dreams by a shadow made
of nightmares and midnight. Even her steadfast friends and mentor,
the ancient priestess Sedna, are unable to help her quell the lust
for blood that threatens to consume Rini from the inside out.
When one of her Pack returns
from the battlefield, he is broken in body and spirit. Even Sedna’s
considerable power cannot heal him. Rini must sing back his soul,
using her healer’s magic to heal the wounds that go beyond flesh.
While the curse tightens its hold, calling not just for bloodlust but
to claim souls, Rini struggles to keep her own inner wolf at bay.
Neighbors turn against neighbors, friends betray friends, and the
Pack threatens to rip itself apart at the seams.
Can Rini defeat the curse in
her own blood, or will she and the Pack she loves be consumed by the
beast within?

Brekke
Elle is a word tinker, coffee drinker, and has clumsy thumbs (or so
she claims to excuse typos!). A Georgia peach living in the heart of
North Carolina, Brekke has traveled and lived around the world –
including attending the University of Cambridge in England, interning
for an NGO in rural Cambodia, and working at a university in Northern
California. Along the way she has collected stories (and a bit of bad
poetry too). Her first real desire to become a writer (more than just
wanting to be Jo March when she was 9) was after reading SABRIEL by
Garth Nix. It was the first world she ever wanted to fall sideways
into, and she has been recreating those lush worlds for readers ever
since.
When she’s not losing herself in
her imaginary universes, Brekke spends most of her time chasing her
four kids (including twin toddlers!), canning up homecooked chicken
broth, and volunteering at a neighborhood community garden. Her
favorite color is black (no, really), her favorite fairy tale is
Beauty and the Beast (preferable one of Robin McKinley’s
retellings), and her favorite drink is coffee until 3pm, then it’s
a full bodied Pinot Noir.
