You're sitting at your every day, mundane job.  In your every day, mundane life.   Which is suddenly turned upside down by one ominous phone call!     “Chance City Police Department, may I help you?” “Is this where I report a crime?” a deep, raspy male voice asked calmly on the other end of the phone line. “Yes, Sir, it is. What are you reporting?” she asked. “I want to report a murder,” he said quietly. “Excuse me? Did you say a murder, Sir?” “Yes, I want to report a murder,” he said even quieter. Wynne sat up in her chair and her weariness was instantly gone. Cops and firefighters lived for these adrenaline rushes, and dispatchers received their fair share, too. “Sir, what is your name, and where and when did this happen?” “You will know when the ritual has begun. This is the first of many sacrifices. Start counting, Wynne.” The line went dead.   Now imagine that the safe little world you thought existed isn't quite what you thought.  Evil, shapeshifters who are only looking for human females to breed...and kill...have crossed into your safe little world.  They're impossible to track, and nearly impossible to kill.  And now the Sarion want YOU.  What would you do?  Would you run?  Scream?  Call 9-1-1?   Or would you call The Variance?  The specially trained teams that are the only ones with the knowledge, blood traits, and training with half a chance to save you?  What if you fell madly, passionately in love with one of The Variance members?  One who knows the chances of your survival are slim to none? And what if... Just imagine... After you've found that team, you're taken by the Sarion despite all the efforts to save you?  Would you take matters into your own hands... And then cut them off?!! * * * * * Variance: The Countdown is the first book in a series of three detailing The Variance team and their efforts to save humanity from the evil Sarion, who are intent on infiltrating our world and stealing humans for breeding.  Buy your copy of Variance: The Countdown now at Silk's Vault Publishing, and find out what you need to know in case you turn a corner some dark, misty night...and encounter your destiny.
