Then she pulled me forward, and we stepped out of Tower’s hell and into the rest of our lives. Which looked suspiciously like Meghan’s bathroom.
Kris and Liv tripped over one another in their haste to check on the others, but I pulled Kori back before she could go. Then I kicked the door closed and pulled her closer, wrapping the shadows around us again. “You’re free,” I whispered, running my hands over her back, while hers slid beneath my shirt. “So what do you want to do now?”
She kissed me, then her lips trailed over my chin toward my ear. “Now?” she whispered, and chills shot up my spine. “Nothing. Everything. Isn’t that the whole point? From now on, we can do whatever the hell we want.”

Acknowledgments
Thanks, as always, to my critique partner, Rinda Elliott, the first to read everything I write. Thanks most of all for your willingness to tell me when I suck. The truth is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to #1, my husband, for endless patience. This book and the subsequent revisions took up a crazy three and a half months of our lives and I may not have been the most pleasant person during that time. A huge thank-you to the MIRA Art department for the SHADOW BOUND cover art. The models are perfect. The colors are beautiful. The tone is dead-on. I love it.
And, of course, thanks to all the readers willing to give this dark and twisted world a chance. I promise, there is a light at the end of the tunnel… .
By blood, by word, by magic…
