This was a decent short story by Canadian heavy weight Kelley Armstrong. There are some tangential connections to her Otherworld series, however, you can definitely read this novella without committing to that larger series. I enjoyed this short read but was hoping for a little bit more than I ultimately got. Unfortunately this is true of many short stories.

I hope Kelley Armstrong revisits this post apocalyptic landscape and world in future stories.

And this is what would've happened if Balaam had gotten his way (in the last three books of the Women of the Otherworld series), and exposed the supernaturals to humans.
Not a pretty picture . . .

Part of [b:Led Astray: The Best of Kelley Armstrong|24402500|Led Astray The Best of Kelley Armstrong|Kelley Armstrong|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1440778239s/24402500.jpg|44123648]. Post-Apocalypse. Humans hide away from the outside in fortresses... The writing feels a little dry, but it is pretty plotty and twisted for a short story. Not bad, but I did not really like the overall tone of it.

This short was included in the Shards & Ashes anthology. Branded was by far the best short in the anthology, as was to be expected. The story is well written and engrossing as I've come to expect from Armstrong. The world could easily be made into another series. Rayne is a great character and I love how we are not fully in on her plans. You get constant little inklings here or there that could go either way, but all along you know Rayne is being deceitful-we just don't know to what degree. Overall I really enjoyed the world created and Rayne as a character. I would love to know what happened after the short ended.

A lot of information packed in this post apocalyptic world with strong characters - very solid, intriguing story
