I've spent years waiting for the wolf to kill me. I thought I was just a monster in a cage, until a witch with a nose for trouble dragged me into a war I didn't want to fight.
I'm Erik Talbot. I find things people want hidden, provided you don't ask where I go when the moon gets full. My routine was simple: keep my head low, take the easy jobs, and lock the cage tight once a month.
Then I took a job tailing Celine Holloway.
It was supposed to be a simple infidelity case-easy money for a broke ex-cop. Instead, I walked straight into a trap. The ""cheating wife"" wasn't meeting a lover; she was hunting for an ancient book that hums with a power that makes the wolf in my blood restless.
Now, the job has gone sideways. I'm staring down the barrel of a ritualistic murder, and the only person who can help me is the one person determined to expose monsters like me. Mira is a reporter with too many questions about a cold case that hits too close to home, and thanks to a desperate blood pact in a gas-filled warehouse, we're bound to one another.
My target isn't who she says she is. The city's hate groups are sharpening their knives. And the moon is rising. Now, I have to decide: Do I keep hiding in the dark, or do I let the beast out to save the woman who might be my only salvation?
