The new Supernatural thriller, War Of The Sons, is published by Titan Books tomorrow - and Anorak City brings you an exclusive preview of the first chapter.

Co-written by Rebecca Dessertine, assistant to the show's creator Eric Kriple, and David Reed, Supernatural's script co-ordinator, it's a previously unseen adventure for the Winchester brothers.

Twenty-three years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a demonic supernatural force.

Following the tragedy, their father taught the boys everything about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners of America and how to kill it.

On the hunt for Lucifer, the boys find themselves in a small town in South Dakota where they meet Don, an angel with a proposition.

How far will the boys go to uncover the secret Satan never wanted them to find out?
