An paranormal fantasy novella from USA Today bestselling author Eileen Wilks’s World of the Lupi, where the darkest magic will leave its mark… FBI Agent Lily Yu is turning twenty-nine—a milestone she’s decidedly ambivalent about. But her birthday celebration is cut short when the naked, tattooed body of a man is found in a Northern California town. The victim was Steve Hilliard, and years ago, he was close friends with Rule Turner, prince of the lupi. At first it seems like a bizarre ritual killing, but there’s more than magic afoot: Steve wasn’t human. And the killer isn’t finished… Human Nature originally appeared in the anthology Inked. Includes a teaser for the upcoming novel Mind Magic, out November 2015.
