SANDY I survived the first year of the bugpocalypse safety tucked away in my cabin in the mountains. But now, the raiders have found my home. Not only did they ransack my house, but they also left me an unexpected surprise. There’s an injured Xarc’n hunter passed out in my yard! A storm is brewing, and I can’t leave him outside. He’s bleeding and will lead the bugs right to me. I do the unthinkable and wake the massive, horned warrior. He wakes angry and growling, and I find myself trapped in his arms. I’ve made a huge mistake! TURR’K I know the moment I open my eyes that she is the one. I’ve scented her on my mountains all season long and protected her from the deadly scourge. She is mine. Now that she’s in my arms, I will never let her go.
