Blood's Shadow

The disease has teeth…but the cure could be deadly. As Investigator for the Lycanthrope Council, Gabriel McCord went above and beyond his official title to keep werewolf kind out of the public eye. Now he has a new challenge as the liaison to the Institute for Lycanthrope Reversal, advocating for humans turned werewolf against their will. The Institute's controversial "treatment" is nonetheless generally accepted - until one of the project's scientists is found murdered at his desk. The suspect list is long: purists who believe lycanthropism is a non-returnable gift; wolf-borns who want the cure for their own; and the ethereal Selene Rial, an Institute psychologist who's lost her most precious possession to a secret society dedicated to the annihilation of werewolves. If Gabriel fails to solve this case, the fragile peace between wizards and lycanthropes could shatter, and his friends' lives could be ruined. But even if he succeeds, he has to face the consequences of his heart being pulled in a dangerous direction - a woman whose dangerous secrets could destroy them both.
