When a deadly shapeshifter illness threatens the youngest members of Atlanta's Pack, Kate Daniels and her mate, Curran, face an impossible choice. A rare medicine could save the children, but the European packs controlling its supply demand a dangerous favor in return. Kate, Curran, and a small group of allies must travel across the Black Sea to protect a pregnant shapeshifter whose unborn children are at the center of a bitter inheritance dispute. Their destination is an isolated castle in the mountains of Georgia, where rival packs, hidden agendas, and deadly supernatural creatures await. As the situation grows increasingly dangerous, Kate must uncover who is manipulating events while facing threats to both her life and her relationship with Curran. Filled with action, political intrigue, ancient mythology, and emotional conflict, this pivotal Kate Daniels adventure will appeal to readers who enjoy powerful heroines, treacherous alliances, supernatural battles, and high-stakes fantasy.
