Empires of Moth (The Moth Saga, book 2)
“"Please, no, don't . . ." She tried to pull back but could not. She begged, but the beast would not listen. Still the nightwolf fed, digging its teeth into her arm, ripping flesh, shaking its head and tugging and clawing, tearing tendons, cracking bone.

Her arm lay wi...thin a pile of smoking bones, not a beastly mouth. Bits of charred flesh still clung to the pile, hot, searing her. She recognized these remains.

"Help . . .
help me, please . . ." A hand touched her forehead.MoreLess
