  Chapter 4 The First Full Night of Hunting The world had changed. The forest was no longer a mass of indistinct trunks and branches. Each tree gave off its own scent: sweet resin, damp moss, leaves carrying the sharp smell of freshly cut sap. The wind carried the scent of animals hidden beneath the earth, and even the buzzing of an insect sounded like thunder inside my mind. I raised my head. The sky, which had once seemed black and endless to me, was now a pulsating tapestry. I could see stars hidden from human eyes, and each one seemed to vibrate like a distant drum. The stranger, my mentor, watched me with the same enigmatic smile. “Go. Hunt.” I obeyed, driven by a hunger that was both pain and ecstasy. I moved through the forest with supernatural speed. My feet barely touched the ground. With every leap, the leaves stirred into whirlwinds, and my eyes could even catch a single drop of dew being crushed beneath my feet. It was not long before I heard voices. Two men wer...

  Review of the ebook “All chapters will be published on the blog.” Chapter 1 The Encounter Paris, France, twenty-first century. The café was steeped in a bittersweet haze of burning incense, laced with the metallic tang of rusted iron. Elias Montgomery, an American pastor and writer of thirty, drew a long breath, striving to mask his unease. He had chosen this dim Parisian café, with its low ceiling and muted light, because an anonymous message on his phone had promised that here he would find the subject of his life—the fantastic yet real story no one else dared to record. The door opened. A gust of cold air swept through, snuffing out a candle on the counter. And then she entered. Emma Valcourt. Her blonde curls spilled over her shoulders with a liquid grace. Her face, seemingly fixed in the youth of twenty-three, betrayed none of the decades—or centuries—she carried. In the moist gleam of her eyes flickered both innocence and cruelty. “Pastor Montgomery?” she asked in h...
