I’m the pint-sized assassin no one sees coming. Framed for a crime I didn’t commit, I was forced to become a Shadow, using my fire elemental powers to do the Enclave’s bidding. A decade working alongside the world’s most ruthless bloodsuckers and shifters honed me into a weapon capable of surviving a brutal world.

Sometimes it sucks being a werewolf. People know what I am. Which is rough because normies don’t trust monsters. Mostly, I just try to get by and keep my head down.

As the nights go by and the cops bumble their way through the investigation, it becomes clear that something beyond your average series of smash-and-grabs is going on. For a skittering evil lurks in the dark corners, waiting to pounce.
