A Prequel

The Other Daughter

by Natalie Portnoy

The Other Daughter asks the questions that literary fiction does best: How much do we owe the people who share our blood? What do we do with a love that has been damaged but not destroyed? And is it possible, after the silence, after the secrets, after the worst has already happened, to choose each other again?

About The Book

The Other Daughter is the story of two sisters separated by fourteen months and a lifetime of unspoken things. Sable is the careful one — the planner, the quiet achiever, the girl who kept her feelings in the unsayable column and told herself it was wisdom. Kara is the other kind — the one who lived loudly, loved recklessly, and fell the hardest when the world didn't catch her.

When Sable sees something wrong in the summer before their senior year — something involving a boy named Derek Paulson who has no business being on their street — she makes a choice. Not a dramatic choice. Not a cruel one. The quiet kind, the kind that barely feels like a choice at all: she says nothing. She files it in the column where it belongs, and she moves on.
Kara does not move on.
Years later, the silence has calcified into distance. The Harper sisters are polite to each other at holidays. They remember birthdays. They do not call unless they have to. Sable has built exactly the life she planned — a career, a marriage, a home with clean lines and no surprises. Kara has built something messier, harder, and more honest, and Sable has spent twenty years pretending not to notice the difference.
Then Kara comes home.
And everything Sable thought she knew about her marriage, her sister, and herself begins to unravel with a single confession she never saw coming.

What follows is not a simple story of betrayal. It is something harder and more human than that — a reckoning with the ways we wound the people we love not through cruelty but through careful, practiced absence. Through the things we see and do not say. Through the column we keep, year after year, full of words we tell ourselves we'll speak someday.
Someday, it turns out, has a way of arriving before you're ready.

The Panther's Mate

She was bitten by a dying wolf and woke up dangerous.
Sage Blackthorn didn't ask for power that can shatter minds, a mate bond that ignites every time He breathes, or a fated connection to the most devastatingly gorgeous panther shifter she's ever seen. But when Hawk Nightshade's golden eyes find hers across a blood-soaked arena, something ancient and hungry snaps into place — and neither of them will ever be the same.
He crossed mountains to find her. Fought monsters to keep her. Defied his entire pack to claim her.
Now an enemy is building an army from broken shifters, and Sage is the weapon they want most. But she's done being hunted. Done being caged. Done pretending the heat in Hawk's eyes doesn't burn her from the inside out.
The bond is fated. The danger is real. And the chemistry between them?
Absolutely. Combustible.
The Panther's Mate — because some bonds can't be denied, some powers can't be contained, and some men are worth burning the world down for.

Blade Nightshade has led the Nightshade panther territory for twenty-three years. He negotiated the three-territory alliance. He dismantled a forced-shifting operation that nearly destroyed everything he built. He watched his children find their fated mates and felt, in the quiet of his empty lodge, the particular satisfaction of a man who has done everything correctly and arrived somewhere he did not entirely choose.
