An excerpt:  Evie  reached out to grab Jax's hand, but an energy pulse surged from him and tossed her aside like a rag doll!  Jax heard a sickening thud as Evie's head struck the ground.  Jax stood, dumbfounded, and stared wide eyed.  Paralyzed with fear, he waited for Evie to breathe, but she just laid there quietly, deathly still.
