Sands
by Kevin L. NielsenFor nine months of the year, the sands of the Sharani Desert are safe. The genesauri-giant, flying, serpentine monsters who hunt across the desert in enormous packs-lie dormant. The smallest of their kind is able to take down a single man with ease, and the largest is able to swallow entire clans. The people of the desert have always been able to predict the creatures' appearance, but this year, the genesauri have stopped following the rules. When the genesauri suddenly attack her clan, seventeen-year-old Lhaurel draws a sword in her people's defense-a forbidden practice for women of any clan-and is sentenced to death by her own people. Chained to a rock and left to be eaten by the next wave of genesauri, Lhaurel is rescued by a mysterious, elusive clan said to curse children at a glance, work unexplainable terrors, and disappear into the sands without a trace. With the fate of the clans hanging in the balance, Lhaurel discovers she possesses a rare and uncontrollable power-one that will be tested as the next deadly genesauri attack looms on the horizon and the clash between clans grows more inevitable by the hour.

Sangue di Licantropo
by Vianka Van Bokkem Lidia PedìoQuando avevo tredici anni, la Bulgaria fu colpita da una letale epidemia di peste e gli esseri umani cominciarono a morire uno dopo l'altro in tutto il paese. Io e mia sorella Nerina, che allora aveva quindici anni, non fummo infettate perché siamo vampiri. I sopravvissuti chiesero asilo nei paesi vicini ed io e mia sorella non avemmo più esseri umani con cui alimentarci. Una notte, mentre andavamo a caccia di orsi bruni, ci imbattemmo in un lupo mannaro intento a sbranare un sciacallo dorato. Cercammo di ignorarlo e di continuare la nostra caccia ma lui, per difendere il proprio territorio, ci ringhiò contro in segno di sfida. Io e Nerina ci fermammo e lo guardammo. Mia sorella accettò la sfida e, in men che non si dica, i due si ritrovarono a lottare per terra. Stavo accorrendo ad aiutarla, ma lei riuscì a bloccargli il collo e cominciò a succhiargli il sangue. Mi guardò e mi fece un cenno con la mano per farmi avvicinare. Non appena fui abbastanza vicina al lupo mannaro, affondai le zanne nel suo collo taurino e cominciai anch'io a nutrirmi di lui... Il suo sangue era molto più saporito del sangue umano. E fu così che, quella notte, cominciammo ad apprezzare il sangue dei licantropi.
