Part of Mercy Thompson, book 10
First published 2017
Mercy Thompson wakes up in unfamiliar territory, far from home and separated from her werewolf pack. The world's most dangerous vampire has kidnapped her, planning to use her as leverage against her mate Adam and the vampire ruler of the Tri-Cities. Mercy shifts to coyote form and breaks free, but her escape leaves her stranded in Europe without resources or allies. She cannot reach Adam or her pack members back home. Ancient supernatural forces begin to move around her as she navigates the treacherous politics between vampire factions and werewolf territories. Mercy must identify friends from enemies while avoiding actions that could spark war between the supernatural communities. In Prague, she encounters old spirits and powers that threaten the delicate balance she's trying to maintain. Cut off from the bonds that have defined her place in the supernatural world, Mercy discovers what survival means when she can rely only on herself.
