Daughter of the Claw - Chapter 7
Menia woke with a start and sat bolt upright. She was soaking with sweat, her hair was stuck to her face, and her sheets were a wadded mess. What the hell? She sat for a minute, breathing, smelling, listening. Had it been a bad dream? If so there was...
Daughter of the Claw - Chapter 6

Daughter of the Claw - Chapter 10
