If you are a fan of Kelley Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld series, you might be interested in reading Beginnings, a novella that tells the story of how Clay and Elena met and started their relationship. Beginnings was originally released online in 2004, but it is now available in print as part of Tales of the Otherworld, a collection of short stories set in the same universe as the novels.
Beginnings is a prequel to Bitten, the first book in the series, and it gives us a glimpse into the lives of Clay and Elena before they became the alpha pair of the North American werewolf pack. Clay is a visiting professor at the University of Toronto, reluctant to leave Jeremy and the rest of the pack in upstate New York. Elena is a gifted student struggling to make ends meet and coping with significant early trauma. He needs a research assistant; she needs a job. They are instantly attracted to each other, but their romance is complicated by secrets, lies, and a bite that changes everything.
Beginnings is a captivating and emotional story that explores the origins of one of the most popular couples in urban fantasy. It is also a great introduction to the world of the Otherworld, where werewolves, vampires, witches, demons, and other supernatural beings coexist with humans, often hiding in plain sight. Fans of the series will enjoy learning more about the characters they love, while newcomers will be hooked by the thrilling plot and the rich mythology.
