"These are fantastic adventures, and Mercy reigns." --SFRevu
#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs's Mercy Thompson
series has been hailed as "one of the best" (Fiction Vixen Book
Reviews). Now Mercy must deal with an unwanted guest--one that brings a
threat unlike anything she's ever known.
An unexpected phone call heralds a new challenge for Mercy. Her mate
Adam's ex-wife is in trouble, on the run from a stalker. Adam isn't the
kind of man to turn away a person in need--and Mercy knows it. But with
Christy holed up in Adam's house, Mercy can't shake the feeling that
something about the situation isn't right.
Soon her suspicions are confirmed when she learns that Christy has the
furthest thing from good intentions. She wants Adam back, and she's
willing to do whatever it takes to get him, including turning Adam's
pack against Mercy.
Mercy isn't about to step down without a fight, but there's a more
dangerous threat circling. Christy's stalker is more than a bad man--in
fact, he may not be human at all. As the bodies start piling up, Mercy
must put her personal troubles aside to face a creature with the power
to tear her whole world apart.
