"A superb series from start to finish that, like the best musical mashups, takes something old (werewolf mythology) and makes something completely fresh out of its source material." - Charles de Lint, Fantasy & Science Fiction MagazineGeeky loner Connor Lewis arrives in Paris on a scholarship for his last year of high school.It seems everyone he meets in the city has secrets - the military brats who befriend him on the first day of class, the young tattoo artist and her menacing dog who make up his host family, and an enigmatic redhead who shows up in unexpected places.One night, things take a turn for the supernatural, forcing Connor to stop running and confront his own dark secret.

"The author deftly keeps all the furballs in the air. Incorporating elements of myth and religion, history and modern science, Kruger's action-packed thriller is a smart examination of teenaged alienation and rebellion, with fully fleshed out characters and just enough kitsch to appeal to a wide variety of readers." - Quill & QuireWhen his DNA unlocked a cure for werewolves, Connor Lewis never imagined that would be the least of his concerns.Now he's caught between two sides: born werewolves who want to preserve their way of life and bitten humans who want to save others from suffering their same fate.In the midst of a high stakes trial, werewolf hunters come calling, forcing Connor to make the decision of his life and figure out on which side of history he wants to stand.
