College sophomore Evan Grant doesn't realize what he's getting into when he asks the beautiful redhead, Karina Walsh, out on a simple date. The date ends well but the night does not. A frightening encounter with an otherworldly creature leaves him nowhere to go but to Karina and her family for help. But will they help him...or destroy him for knowing too much of a world he never should have seen?

Violent is a prequel novella to the Ayla St. John Chronicles, and can be read in any order during that series.
