The werewolves and shifters come out of the closet and throw the small
town of Bon Temps into a tailspin in the ninth novel in the #1 New
York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series**--the inspiration
for the HBO(R) original series True Blood.******
Except for cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse, folks in Bon Temps,
Louisiana, knew little about vamps--and nothing about Weres. Until now.
The Weres and shifters have finally revealed their existence to the
ordinary world, and the backlash may have claimed the life of someone
Sookie knew. But her determination to find out who is responsible for
the murder is put aside in the face of a far greater danger. A race of
unhuman beings--older, more powerful, and more secretive than vampires
or werewolves--is preparing for war. And Sookie will find herself an
all-too-human pawn in their battle...
