This one is for the military families everywhere who watch and wait and worry while their loved ones are far away: I hope that reading it offers a little respite, a bit of escape, and perhaps a laugh or two. You deserve it, and I'm right there with you, pacing the floors at 2 A.M. during this deployment. May we all find happily ever after.
And, always, to Judd, Computer Boy, and Princess. My heroes.
Oh, and my apologies to any and all historical societies involved in any way with the city of St. Augustine, Florida, and the Fort Castillo de San Marcos. As far as I know, shape-shifting panthers have never attacked a rebel base there. For everyone else, trust me when I say you're going to want to visit.
It's spectacular.
And when you're there, stop by my friend Pam Cross's restaurant, the Bunnery. You'll be glad you did.
The Warrior's Creed
We will wait. And watch. And protect.
And serve as first warning on the eve of humanity's destruction.
Then, and only then, Atlantis will rise.
For we are the Warriors of Poseidon, and the mark of the Trident we bear serves as witness to our sacred duty to safeguard mankind.
Chapter 1
St. Louis, leaving regional rebel headquarters
“It's almost impossible to shoot a bow while driving.”
Grace Havilland clenched her fingers around the steering wheel of the Jeep and waited for the Atlantean warrior riding shotgun to respond to what she thought had been her very reasonable point.
Waited. Waited a little longer. She'd met Alexios months ago and seen him sporadically since, but she'd never been in such a small space with him. It felt like being trapped in a cage with a lion who'd just eaten a full meal. Deadly, dangerous, and exhilarating, but maybe—just maybe—you'd live through it.
Unless he suddenly felt like a snack.
She wrenched the wheel to the left when she saw the deceptive DEAD END sign appear in the headlights and then took the deserted side street. Alexios finally turned to face her, his golden hair brushing the tops of his shoulders and sweeping forward to hide the scarred left side of his face. Reinforcing the lion imagery so strongly she flinched a little.
He raised a single eyebrow.
“The sign keeps people out,” she explained. “HQ escape route and a shortcut to the hospital. Since we're a little behind everyone else, I wanted to catch up.”
A weak but warm voice floated up from the backseat. “Shortcut would be good.”
“How are you doing, Michelle?” Grace asked, not daring to look over her shoulder at this rate of speed.
“Well enough, considering that nasty vampire nearly ripped my head from my neck. Lucky for me that your dishy Alaric popped in with his magic healing powers. My first mission with you Americans, and the rebel headquarters gets attacked. Bit of a bad penny, me.”
