Book excerpt: A biological pandemic has left the world infested with zombies, and no one, human or supernatural, is safe. National and military leaders are desperate to find a weapon that will fight the scourge, but they don't expect to form allegiances, uneasy as they may be, with dark and mysterious forces. Vampire Avianna and her eternal partner, Joseph; werewolf soulmates Kristian and Mary; and the powerful witch, Keenu, emerge from the shadows to help the US Marines and militia resist the apocalypse.
