A woman who spent her life kept ignorant and protected has finally broken free from her sheltered existence. She refuses to accept any more coddling, even from the attractive werewolf king who believes protection is his right to give. Durham has a problem. Something is killing humans with werewolf methods, but it displays the bodies publicly, as though mocking the police. Her new arrangement with law enforcement makes solving these deaths her responsibility. The killer seems to be targeting her specifically, leaving taunts among the evidence. Her investigation leads her to the local werewolf pack and its controlling alpha male. She knows she's walking into danger. The murders escalate as she digs deeper into pack politics and supernatural threats. She must identify the killer while defending her hard-won independence. The creature hunting Durham's citizens wants her to question whether she's strong enough to survive in a world she barely understands.
