"The fight couldn't have been going worse."
When I was writing MIDNIGHT SKY and hinting at Nash's past, I knew I wanted to write a short story about his life before he met Sawyer and Gemma. I knew his past would have been brutal, but I didn't know how brutal and violent it would be until I started his novella. Nash's life was on a knife's edge, and he resorted to extreme violence to survive. He wasn't the person Claire met in CRIMSON SKY, and I think the first chapter really captures that.
Book Excerpt
Amber Sky
The fight couldn’t have been going worse.
I got that Ryland wanted his champion in the Crater. I got that he wanted to give the Runts and the Dogs a show. I even got that he wanted to push me so I’d stronger, faster, better.
But I didn’t get why he had to pick the two biggest, meanest bastards from the crew to fight me. Two men who wouldn’t stop beating me until I was just a red stain on the ground. The taunts and advice from the crowd over our head didn’t help either.
“Crush ‘em, Nash!”
“Come on, Stanner!”
“Hit him, Dylan, hit him!”
“Nash is costing me bets! Someone kill him already!”
Being the Crater’s reigning champ definitely had its drawbacks.
