Darcy Avalon is just another creature living in North Heldal, no different than the demons or nymphs or trolls, except her family eats the town's dead to survive. When her mother is killed and her father goes missing, Darcy is relocated from the family morgue to live with the werewolf pack that oversees the town. The Channon pack has been the authority in North Heldal for centuries and they swear to Darcy that they will find her mother's killer, but her dad is out there somewhere, and Darcy's mission to find him throws her into the seedy political underbelly of her town. Without her family or friends, who can Darcy trust to help her find her father and have her back as she ventures into the unknown?
