In the aftermath, Adria finds herself drawn to Isaac Mayfair, a young man whose family carries ancient secrets. The small town of Hallowell, Maine begins to fracture around them. Residents fall sick with a mysterious condition that doctors cannot explain. Others vanish without trace. Isaac becomes fiercely protective of Adria, warning her to avoid her own sister and refusing to explain why. As Adria discovers the hidden world of werewolves that exists beneath ordinary life, she learns that her role in this supernatural community will reshape the fate of many.
