To say that a fox and a wolf are an odd couple would be an understatement. Volpes (fox-shifters) and Lupos (wolf-shifters) are thought to be polar opposites, and yet Willow and Blithe have become household names almost overnight for their pairing. The ruling Alphas of three Northeast states, they are the youngest leaders their region has seen, and with Blithe's father the Alpha before them, they have a both reputation to live up to and to live down; the ex-Alpha refusing to rest until there is retribution for the deaths that haunt him. Suddenly finding themselves to be living legends with powers not seen for centuries, all of the 'gifts' bestowed upon Willow and Blithe only seem to compound their situation and make it impossible for them to stay out of the limelight. More than fame follows them, however. With specism running rampant throughout their pack members, more and more Lupos are stepping forward with blatant rejections of their new Alpha and tensions between the five species have never been higher. From within her newfound bubble of privilege, Willow watches as other Volpes adopt the secondhand, rippling effects of her ascension from those whose prejudices eat them alive. Blood on everyone's hands, the sins of years past plague the newly appointed Alphas, making the divide between their species ever clearer. As everyone seems to be choosing a side, how can Willow reconcile her traditionally 'Lupo-only' position with her species when she finds those around her openly opposing her decision? When the past comes knocking at the Talon mansion, who will be there to answer? Book 2 of the Fox Series (Sequel to 'Sly as a Fox')
