A Feral Darkness

About this eBook

Suspense, romance, and a Celtic dog bundled into a contemporary fantasy setting.

As a child, dog-loving Brenna Fallon naively invokes an ancient Celtic deity to save her beloved hound–and inadvertently anchors the new-found power at a spring on her family’s farm.

She doesn’t know she’s also left an opening for a far more malevolent force.

Years later, Brenna discovers the terrible potential of that gateway.With a devastating plague unfolding abruptly around her, she must depend on her wits, a stranger she doesn’t trust, and a mysterious stray dog who becomes more than just a faithful companion as she struggles to drive back the threat of a modern Black Death.

Welded by a desperate sacrifice, woman, man, and dog face the feral darkness together.

“The mystery and fantasy slowly draw together, bonded by supreme characterization, to make for a story which is almost impossible to put down.”
–Reviewers Bookwatch

“If you are looking for a book that has paranormal elements and some romance, is expertly written with wonderful characters and has a smooth pace that leads up to a climatic finish, A FERAL DARKNESS is the book for you and it is not to be missed.”
–The Romance Reader’s Connection

“This is a very smart, well-woven book, with an initially cranky but ultimately endearing hero and a thoroughly satisfying ending.”
–Mary Jo Putney, bestselling author of the The Rake

Ratings and reviews

Great book, got it for free, read it because I had nothing else and discovered a gem of a book! Written well, characters developed very well, including dogs, story grabbed me and made me happy/sad when it ended. Thank you for a great story!

Glad to see that Brenda finally realized that Masera was on her side against the evil that was going on and that the love between her and the dog Draid was able to save everyone from the evil. Glad she was able to get the puppy in the end. You will need to read this book.

I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it! Brilliantly written, it sucked me in from the first page, the kind of book I'd wish to write myself, if I wasn't to lazy to write! The plots intense, the ending is beautiful and I was sorry when it ended. What more do you want from a book? Thanks to the author I loved it.
