Elliot wakes up, drugged and badly wounded, in a plywood room next to the body of his human girlfriend, his fur soaked with her blood. A devilish voice mocks and taunts him from the shadows. For a moment, he’s balanced on the blade of despair.

But werewolves are survivors, and Elliot is stronger than he thinks. Instead of falling into madness, he decides to peel back the artifice behind his gruesome situation and uncover what his memory has lost. As his strength returns by degrees, so does his determination – and a cruel game master will discover how little he knows about Elliot’s people.
