The Beginning of the End

Intro chapter to Rosamond Eternal and the Jaguar Key.
Rosamond has a secret: she's a jaguar shifter hiding from an eternal stalker. Rosamond wants to live an ordinary human life, but the Eternals have other plans. Her boyfriend leaves. Her friends betray her. And Gideon the Dragon demands that she use her ability to cross the planes of death to trap a powerful god in the afterlife--a god to whom Rosamond owes a debt of loyalty. To top it all, a psychopathic sorcerer poisons her with his dark magic and it's draining her life away. Someone is behind the chaos, but who? And why target her? Will Rosamond unravel the hidden mysteries before the sorcerer's lethal spell runs its course?
