Interior illustration for Grim Oak Press's special edition of the best selling novel "Moon Called" by Patricia Briggs. In this scene Mercy, who has the ability to shape shift into a coyote, races across a field in hopes of being able to help her neighbor when things go wrong "I abandoned the dead in hopes of being of use to the living..." "When I came to the fence between our properties, I held the rifle away from my body and vaulted the barbed wire with a hand on top of the post."
