Blood Never Lies is a duet of companion novels to the Eye of the Storm series. The two novels are called Blood Shadow and Aftershock. They also act as prequels to a brand new series to come. A brief background is given in the books about the events that led to these stories, however, we recommend you read Eye of the Storm in order to gain full understanding of how the characters have arrived at this point.
READER'S TIP: If you've read The Witching Pen series, Aftershock holds a surprise for you! Aftershock also crosses with the very end of the After the Storm novelettes (in Jewels of the Crown).

AFTERSHOCK
Self-sufficient and travellers at heart, Pete and Claire packed bags five years ago and headed on a journey that would change their lives forever.
After the unexpected death of her childhood best friend, Sarah, Claire has nurtured both an open wound, and Sarah's baby - a miracle born on her deathbed.
Pete has been nothing short of a father to baby Jasmine, and partner to Claire, the werewolf in him one of the few things in the world Claire connects with.
However, despite their love for their adopted daughter and each other, fate's about to test the foundation they've built. Jasmine has been having episodes - seizures - the doctors aren't sure exactly what they are, or what triggers their onset, but when a little boy is hurt by Jasmine's hand they can no longer wait for answers. They consider taking to the road once more believing a life of travel might be safer than planting roots.
But there's a Supermoon coming - the first in thirty years - and with it, a total lunar eclipse. Pete can feel the charge in the air, and it seems, so too, can Jasmine. With her terrible, secret legacy threatening to break through the shadows, Pete and Claire have a devastating reality to face.
Can you ever escape what you truly are?
Blood never lies.
