The End

If you enjoyed Wolf Heart, you'll love Bridget Essex's novel A Knight to Remember: Holly, a librarian, is starting to believe that love is impossible to find. But one night, during an unusually vicious storm, magic and romance appear in Holly’s backyard in the form of a mysterious, gorgeous woman…wielding a sword.

The following is an excerpt from Bridget Essex's novel A Knight to Remember, available now on Amazon!

I make my way across the room to the sliding glass door and stand, open mouthed and staring into the abysmal darkness of the out-of-doors. I thought I saw…

Nope. Absolutely not. I could not have possibly seen what I thought I saw. I blink, swallow, fiddle with the ends of my robe’s belt.

But I thought…

Another flash of lightning. My breath catches in my throat.

I flip up the lock of the door, and suddenly I’ve pulled the door open, the sash in my hand. And before I know it, I’ve moved, unthinking, out onto the back porch, and down the three steps and I’m standing on my soaking lawn as the rain roars down around me, beating against me like the crashing wave of a tsunami.

The sound of metal against metal clashes out. I see a spark in the darkness as I run across the grass, angling toward the back of my yard.

“Stand and fight me, bastard of darkness!”

This makes me stop, makes me skid to a halt. It was a woman’s strong voice, ringing in a bellow, rising loudly around me.

Another bolt of lightning hits a nearby tree, or it must have hit something nearby, even though I didn’t see the bolt connect. Because the crash and sparks that follow almost deafen and blind me.

But as I stand there, rubbing at my eyes, the rain pouring around me, I see something move in the backyard again. What I thought I’d only imagined. What can’t possibly be there.

What can’t possibly exist.

It’s as tall as my house is my first thought, an abstract thought that slowly prostrates itself in my head and dies as the fear takes over, the fear that rises in me until it seems that all I am is fear. Because whatever that thing is, it’s as tall as my house, and it’s dark, and it’s enormous, and I think those are teeth in a gigantic mouth, and if those are teeth, then they’re as long as my arm, and the mouth is as big as my car, and what the hell am I staring at as it rears up like some strangely misshapen dinosaur.

I’m staring at something that I know doesn’t exist, but at the same time…I’m staring at it.

And it’s then that I notice the person-sized shape at its feet, and thanks to another dangerously close lightning strike, I see the person-sized shape raise something that if I did not think that I was absolutely dreaming, right in this moment, I would say it was…well.

A sword.

“Fight me!” comes the woman’s voice again, demanding and absolute as she brandishes the sword overhead, pointing it at the sky.
