From Author's website:
This is a special thank you to readers for all the great years. It's a small story about Nick's homecoming to New Orleans after his mother's death and after Katrina.

I knew from the beginning what was going to happen to Nick. I wanted the reader to see the birth of a Dark-Hunter, only to have it with a twist. And even though I knew what was going to happen, I still cried when I wrote the scene.

The story is free and you can download it here http://officialsanctuary.com/ You can also purchase the audiobook for .99 here http://us.macmillan.com/fearthedarkness
