“What the hell?” I heard Jake say as he started down the driveway. I followed his line of sight, my feet moving toward him of their own accord. I squinted at movement on the road, my gaze landing on a figure in white—a person. Soon, more figures appeared, what looked like dozens of them, maybe more.
Dread thickened in my throat and my blood ran cold. I heard shouting and hurried footsteps behind me, but I barely registered them as fear and curiosity paralyzed me.
I was preparing to open my mind to them when Dani said, “They’re Re-gens.” I hadn’t even noticed that she was beside me. “They’re all Re-gens.” This time her voice was only a whisper.
In my periphery, I saw Jason and Dani draw their pistols, and I briefly wondered if we even stood a chance against the approaching throng of Re-gens.
“It’s Becca,” Jake breathed as soon as the figure in white drew close enough to make out clearly.
“Becca?” My mouth was suddenly dry.
The Re-gens behind her stopped, and Becca exchanged words with a bald, gangly man directly behind her before turning back to face us.
Slowly, she alone began to walk toward us, her pale gaze shifting from me to Jake.
“What’s going on, Becca?” Jake asked as she drew closer.
Hearing the accusation in his voice, I looked at his profile; his confusion was written plainly on his face.
“We need your help,” Becca said, stopping just out of arm’s reach. “And one day soon, you will need ours.”

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Lindsey Fairleigh lives her life with one foot in a book—as long as that book transports her to a magical world or bends the rules of science. Her novels, from post-apocalyptic to time travel and historical fantasy, always offer up a hearty dose of unreality, along with plenty of adventure and romance. When she’s not working on her next novel, Lindsey spends her time reading and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. She lives in the Napa Valley with her loving husband and confused cats. www.lindseyfairleigh.com
Lindsey Pogue has always been a little creative. As a child she established a bug hospital on her elementary school soccer field, compiled books of collages as a teenager, and as an adult, expresses herself through writing. Her novels are inspired by her observations of the world around her—whether she’s traveling, people watching, or hiking. When not plotting her next story line or dreaming up new, brooding characters, Lindsey’s wrapped in blankets watching her favorite action flicks or going on road trips with her own leading man. www.lindseypogue.com
