A grandfather clock ticked in the distance, the room lit by a single candle and the fireplace burning in the hearth. The woman was petite and elegant, standing up from her comfortable chair when her fire started to flash and flicker—incoming. She moved closer as she spied something forming in the flame, and as it solidified, the fire slowly died, until the object was all that remained lying on the charred logs of the hearth.

A mundane manila envelope.

The woman reached her hand into the hearth, her ruby red nails plucking the envelope from its resting place. The huge sapphire ring on her hand glimmered in the faint candlelight. She tore the envelope open and pulled out a job offer and a photograph of the target. The girl was pretty: long dark hair, dimples when she smiled, and bright eyes. Her mouth was shapely as well.

The offer was terse and to the point, which was fine by her: she didn’t need to be courted. Two hundred thousand to kill a girl named Lucy Hart. Hardly an offer the woman could pass up. She read the inadequate target profile: Eighteen years old; necromancer; engaged to a werewolf from a powerful clan; survived two vampire attacks; considered more than human.

Well, who wasn’t?
