Part of Mercy Thompson, book 11
First published 2019
Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman works as a car mechanic, shifts into coyote form, and lives as mate to the Columbia Basin werewolf pack's Alpha. Months earlier, she stood on a bridge and accepted responsibility for protecting everyone in their territory. She expected to hunt killer goblins, zombie goats, and trolls. Instead, their land became neutral ground where humans meet safely with the fae. Now generals and politicians clash with the Gray Lords while a deadly storm approaches. Her name is Death. Mercedes and her pack gave their word to protect their territory. They will honor that promise even if it kills them. The supernatural politics spiraling around them threaten everything Mercedes values. Her mechanical skills and shapeshifting abilities may not be enough against the forces gathering against her community. The pack bond holds them together as external pressures mount and ancient powers move against them.
