In this never-before-seen short story by New York Times bestselling authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, listeners witness Link's heart-racing transformation. For being bitten by a Supernatural does more than break the skin - it changes a person, inside and out, turning Link into someone more and more like the dark creature who injured him. Wounded during a climactic battle, Link discovers that tending his injuries won't be as simple as visiting a doctor and that healing his arm should be the least of his worries. But returning home to Gatlin, South Carolina was just the beginning. When Link joined his best friend, Ethan Wate, on a quest through a mysterious network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, he knew the journey would be dangerous. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town's tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems. And now that Ethan's eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there's no going back. Together they can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. A Gatlin where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen. A Gatlin where a curse has marked Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals for generations.

A Gatlin that harbored ancient secrets beneath its moss-covered oaks and cracked sidewalks. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world that had been hidden in plain sight all along. Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed.
