Summoned Chaos (35 page)
That was the calling for Shifters. And I was worthy of my family’s name.
“So, what did you want to talk about?”
I thought about the death I’d seen recently, about the joy I’d experienced when I’d lost control of my emotions and my powers, and the struggle to learn to contain them. I thought of Rancin and how much devastation one person could cause. I thought about the people who were killed, caught in the wake of my collateral damage, of Steve, who was waiting for me to pick him up from the hospital, and about the pretty woman that I knew would always be there for me.
“Actually,” I said, “quite a lot.”

Undead Chaos
The job was simple: decapitate the zombie, get paid, get out. Warlock Marcus Shifter followed the plan perfectly.
The corpse, however, did not.
Now there’s a body on the loose, accusations of illegal necromancy are flying, and the answers are waiting in the perilous alleys between the mortal and paranormal worlds. They’re no place for someone who mostly gave up magic after a childhood accident. And given his tendency to shoot off his mouth and his Glock, Marcus is having a hell of a time digging up more than just bodies.
When an apocalypse-minded megalomaniac threatens Marcus’s family, things get personal. Marcus will have to embrace the magic he’s been avoiding for years—and even that might not be enough to save the world from a hellish demise.
