Synopsis
THEY HIDE IN THE SHADOWS Behind the world of men, their own world exists, with its own rules, its own goals, its own fierce battles and veiled enmities. They are shape shifters, torn between a human form and an animal one. They've existed in every generation and evolved their own organizations, which keep them safe. And the number one rule of all these organizations is that only shifters lives count. Humans are like insects, ephemeral and inconsequential, and can be slaughtered at will. Kyrie Smith, a panther shifter, was raised as a foundling. Now for the first time in her life, she has a home and a place. With her boyfriend Tom Ormson, a dragon shifter, she is part owner of a diner. But suddenly her life is thrown in turmoil. Someone--or something--has been killing shifters in large numbers, and an ancient dire-wolf shifter has come to town to punish the killers. Dante Dire is the enforcer for the most powerful and oldest of the shifter organizations, and anyone, human or shifter, who gets in his way will be eliminated without mercy. . . .
