Atemberaubende Spannung, mysteriöse Wesen und die ganz grosse Liebe Die Werwölfe sind an die Öffentlichkeit getreten und haben sich den Menschen zu erkennen gegeben. Doch wie fatal die Konsequenzen sein würden, konnte auch der Marrok, der mächtigste Werwolf Amerikas, nicht ahnen: In Boston treibt ein Serienkiller sein Unwesen - und all seine Opfer sind Werwölfe. Der Marrok schickt seinen Sohn Charles und dessen innig geliebte Gefährtin Anna in die Stadt, um herauszufinden, wer Jagd auf die Wölfe macht. Das ungleiche Traumpaar kommt dem Geheimnis schneller auf die Spur, als ihm lieb ist, denn nun geraten sie selbst in das Visier des Killers ... Patricia Briggs, Jahrgang 1965, wuchs in Montana auf und interessiert sich seit ihrer Kindheit für Phantastisches.

Neben erfolgreichen und preisgekrönten Fantasy-Romanen wie ''Drachenzauber'' widmet sie sich ihrer Mystery-Saga um Mercy Thompson. Nach mehreren Umzügen lebt die Autorin heute gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann, drei Kindern und zahlreichen Haustieren in Washington State.

Život Mercy Thompsonové prošel zásadní změnou. Když se stala družkou Adama Hauptmana – charismatického alfy místní vlkodlačí smečky –, stala se zároveň i nevlastní matkou jeho dcery Jesse. Tento vztah vnáší do Mercyina života požehnané okamžiky normálnosti. Ale na okraji lidskosti se může drobný incident za úplně normálního dne proměnit v něco mnohem většího. Po dopravní nehodě v rušném provozu se Mercy a Jesse nemůžou spojit s Adamem – vlastně s nikým ze smečky. Všichni byli uneseni. Skrze jejich pouto Mercy ví, že Adam je rozzlobený a trpí. Vlkodlaci bojují politickou bitvu za akceptaci veřejností a Mercy se obává, že s ní Adamovo zmizení může nějak souviset – a že on i celá smečka jsou ve velkém nebezpečí. Mercy čelí mnohem mocnějšímu protivníkovi a je na něj sama. Možná bude nucena přijmout pomoc od jakéhokoli spojence, a to bez ohledu na to jak nepravděpodobný je.
