Himnariki
Kara Hale was twelve years old when hunters burned her pack to the ground.
One night stole everything - her family, her home, and the life she was supposed to have. Forced into a shift far too young to survive, Kara became trapped inside her coyote form for ten years, running wild through the forests of Louisiana with nothing but fractured memories and animal instinct to keep her alive.
By the time Sookie Stackhouse and Tara Thornton find her after the fall of Maryann Forrester, Kara is more beast than human - vicious, terrified, covered in mud and blood, and unable to properly speak.
But beneath the growls and sharp teeth is a broken girl still grieving the family she lost.
As Sookie slowly teaches her how to speak, read, trust, and live as human again, Kara becomes fiercely protective of the small group she begins to call her own. Yet Bon Temps is no safe place for damaged creatures. Vampires lurk behind charm and lies, hunters still roam the South, and old supernatural laws are beginning to shift.
Then she meets Alcide Herveaux.
Powerful, loyal, and dangerously protective, Alcide immediately recognizes that Kara is not like any shifter he has ever met. Werecoyotes are rare. Feared. Stronger than most wolves and bound by ancient bloodline traditions older than many vampire kings. Kara should have died the night her pack was slaughtered.
Instead, she survived.
Now, as buried memories begin clawing their way back to the surface, Kara must face the truth about what happened to her family, the dangerous legacy running through her bloodline, and the haunting promise she must fulfill before death - rebuild the pack stolen from her, or lose her soul forever.
But in a world where monsters wear human faces, survival has always come with a price.
