MARKED BY EVIL Prequel to The Devil's Footprints eHarlequin.com Special Events March 4, 2008—April 10, 2008 "When you hear the bells, death is coming." Sixteen-year-old Rachel DeLaune has harbored a dark secret for as long as she can remember. And now she has another: someone has been leaving her messages. Bells tied in the tree outside her window. A dead bird on her pillow. Satanic symbols drawn in the dirt beside her car. Someone is warning her that her time on this earth is running short, but who would want her dead? A jealous boyfriend? An obsessed schoolmate? A deranged stranger? Or is the threat coming from inside her own family? MARKED BY EVIL EXCERPT He was out there. Somewhere in the dark. She'd been sensing his presence for weeks, had even caught a glimpse of him once lurking in the shadows. But he'd never come close enough for her to see his face. She had no idea who he was or where he'd come from. Or why he was here. All she knew was that he had brought something with him when he came. She could feel it in the chill wind that blew through her open bedroom window. Could hear it in the distant peal of the cemetery bells. Could see it in the storm clouds that had begun to gather in the eastern sky. The signs were everywhere. She glanced down at the circle of bruises around her wrist and shivered. If there was one thing Rachel DeLaune had learned in her sixteen years, it was that evil always left a mark.  About The Devil's Footprints  Excerpt  Legend  Upcoming Novels
