First Death is now available for download. Check out the next preorder, Dancing Blades!
I am pleased to announce the launch of First Death, the first short story in the Seventeen series. This is one of six to seven short stories I am planning to release this year to complement the existing and upcoming novels in the series. I’ve had several people ask me why I am doing these stories and the answer is two fold.
First, some of them are tales I would have loved to have been able to incorporate into the novels but couldn’t as they would have seriously detracted from the plot. Secondly, I believe the short stories will give you the opportunity to “see” some of your favorite characters in ways you’ve never experienced previously, since many of these stories are told from the point of view of secondary characters. Here are the blurb and buy links for First Death.
1570. Carpathian Mountains, Moldavia. Ten-year-old Lucas’s life is a simple but happy one. All that changes when the Hunters finally track down his whereabouts.
Forced to bear witness to horrific scenes that forever shatter his innocence, he discovers the shocking secret behind his less than ordinary existence. What follows is a fight for survival that will define the nature of a boy bound to an incredible destiny whose origins have been lost to the tides of time.
First Death is a short story set in the riveting world of AD Starrling’s award-winning thriller series Seventeen.
