Sarai Ilerion has called Lunathion home for as long as she can remember. She has always done her duty as a Wolf, protecting her people and city from the many dangers therein. At the behest of Sabine Fendyr, Sarai has begun to investigate the rise of a new drug on the streets, a drug that spells disaster for Humans and Vanir alike. As she works to untangle the mysterious web around the drug, Sarai is realizing that this might be a threat she cannot face alone. Luckily, or unluckily, the City Heads are aware of her need for a partner and already have one in mind. Following his father's orders has never been Ruhn Danaan's strong suit, and neither is working with Wolves. The last thing Ruhn wants to do is work a case alongside the wolf shifter who once humiliated him in his own home, but it seems he doesn't have a choice in the matter. His prejudices must be put aside if he is going to help protect the city and people he loves from the growing danger that surrounds them.
