Hunt the magic. Conquer the future. Run with wolves. For a thousand years, the de Luna family has protected the slopes of Santo Stefano from the outside world. Magic wanders through the woodlands, electricity is but a distant rumor, and werewolves are still secretly fostered by human families. It is 1962, and that's all about to change. One young wolf struggles to understand the threats of the new age, while protecting her brother, her lover, her secret, her birthright, and the feudal lord who still knows the Old Ways. What must she lose, and what will survive?

Monsters walk the streets of Chicago. So do werewolves. Violence swirls around a vulnerable street waif caught between sorcery and madness. Vicious murders on Chicago's near north side pull Vincent Thiess out of retirement as a police profiler. He must untangle conflicting threads from the Church, the FBI, medieval folklore and his own tortured past. Behind the facade of an old Italian neighborhood, do werewolves really prowl? As Vincent struggles to separate reality from nightmare, ancient truths from modern deception, he must protect his family and solve the mystery of the young woman at the center of it all-and keep himself from falling desperately in love.
