When Dean Winchester finds himself at the mercy of Bella Talbot, desperate for information that might save his soul, he crosses paths with Nadia Turner-the strong-willed, fiercely independent daughter of hunter Rufus Turner. Though the connection be...
The publisher's house was a bizarre mix of antique gothic décor and a shrine to both Supernatural and Fighter, with posters, figurines, and memorabilia plastered all over the walls. Nadia could feel the woman's unease as they stepped inside, the weight of skepticism hanging in the air.
"So, you published the Supernatural books?" Sam asked, trying to sound casual as he glanced at the shelves, which were overflowing with Supernatural volumes.

"Yep. Yeah," the woman said, her eyes flicking between them as she gestured to the entire series. "Gosh. These books... you know, they never really got the attention they deserved.

The publisher wiped her eyes, oblivious to their discomfort. "Gosh, if only real men were so open and in touch with their feelings."
