Winter was a cruel and spiteful woman, scraping her icy fingernails over
New England. She pummeled, battered, and decimated—plants and
creatures alike—happily destroying those who wouldn’t bend to her will.
Despite the chilled temperature of my room, my body was slicked with
sweat, and the last dregs of a nightmare filled my belly with a heat so
intense I curled up in a ball on my damp mattress to protect myself against
the pain. The stench of smoke and burning flesh was trapped in the back of
my throat, and every breath was a struggle.
I was used to death. Between my family and my job, I came in contact with
it much too often—often enough where the sight of wasted life didn’t

and don’t forget my bag.”
Cal mumbled something unintelligible, and I clicked off. I pulled on thick
socks and my old black boots. The ground was muddy where we were
going. I brushed my long black hair into loose knot at the base of my neck.
I didn’t bother with a coat. The nightmare I’d just witnessed was enough to
keep me warm for a while.
They’d killed close this time. Practically in my own backyard. But I
couldn’t think about that now—about what it meant for me.
My name is Rena Drake, and I’m the closest thing to a cop the Drakán has.
They call me an Enforcer. I keep law and order, and right the wrongs of any
crimes my people commit—meaning I bury the bodies and erase the
evidence. I’ll occasionally accept a job from a human just to keep things
interesting. But humans are easy.
For the past two months I’ve been hunting one of my own. The problem is,
dragons are really good at not being found. And they’re even better at
