Genre: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, YA
Seventeen-year-old Morgan Daniel has been in the witness protection program most of her life.
But The Panteras have caught up with her and her younger brother. Her car is totaled, she's hurt, and the street gang is closing in when wolves with glowing eyes appear out of nowhere and chase away the killers.  Then a very cute guy who handles a bow like Robin Hood emerges from the woods and takes them to safety at his fortress-like home.  And that's just the first sign that Morgan and her brother have entered a hidden world filled with secrets...  From the author...  The Secret Warrior Series was inspired by my love of history, fantasy, and fascination with the mountain people and Native Americans. Living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia surrounded by mountains veiled in mist and mystery lends itself well to creating the characters and setting for The Hunter's Moon, and the stories that will follow as the series unfolds. Some of the characters and creatures are based on lore I've learned over the years. Others appeared to me, as characters have a way of doing.  A great deal of research and intuition went into writing The Hunter's Moon. I hope you will enjoy it and the stories yet to come.  Next in the series, Curse of the Moon.

Excerpt

“Should we stay, or go while the smoke lasts?” The cloth muffled her voice. “You can hardly walk.” She couldn’t argue that point. Neither could they wait to be found. “The Panteras won’t give up until we’re dead.” “Maybe they think we are,” he argued under his breath. “Maybe.” She suspected Mateo would demand a body, even a charred one. Make that two. She and Jimmy didn’t have much choice, though, other than to crouch in dread while the fire crackled. “Next birthday, I want an AK-47.” He nudged her. “Look.” She fixed her blurry gaze on what appeared to be a black wolf emerging from the trees. The creature was larger than she’d thought wolves were, and she’d understood none remained in these mountains. They were all farther north or west. Somewhere else. Apparently, she was misinformed. Judging by its size, she guessed this was a male. He stopped before their hideout. Eyes the color of red coals surveyed them before he turned and darted down the trail she’d spotted. “Holy cow, Batboy. Did you see that?” she whispered. Jimmy didn’t reply. He prodded her again. She stared at the big brown and gray wolf that took the black one’s place. Where on earth had he come from? The beast turned its furry head at her and Jimmy. His eyes shone with a luminous light, like fireflies...
