The Waking (The Upturned Hourglass) - Plot & Excerpts
The rusty, nondescript sign that was hung in the center of a deserted alleyway certainly didn’t attract many customers to Windemere and Borken—Antique Books and Miscellany, even in broad daylight. In fact, the sign was illegible and had been for fifty years—probably a good thing, since the interior of the shop held very few books and, although the miscellany was in abundance, it was hardly the type of junk the average bargain hunter would bargain for. But it didn’t really matter. The occasional visitor saw exactly what the two warlock shopkeepers—Windemere and Borken—wanted him to see. The pack had been staying here for nearly five weeks. So far, there had been very little trouble between the werewolves and these old warlocks. Of course, there was always the potential for a . . . difference of opinion between different Occult kinds. But, the old wizards were of the generally accepting and accommodating sort—as long as payment was made. Still their natures were deep-rooted in the ancient ways—when Lycanthropes did not mix with the Fey or the people of the Craft such as themselves.
