Hunters are doubling down their efforts, putting Faline Frey's coterie on the run. But war waits for no woman, especially not a fugitive. Faline's plans for a surprise attack on an east coast Hunter complex hit a snag when succubi leader Marie calls in a favor and Faline has no choice but to answer.
What Faline uncovers is a hidden Portland underground and an elaborate scheme dripping with Marie's cunning manipulation. Only, Marie isn't the puppet master and neither are the Hunters. Something darker lurks under the city of Portland and his appetite is unlikely to be satiated by words alone.Between old enemies and potential new ones, danger lives in nearly every shadow, threatening not only Faline's coterie this time, but everything she knows about her world.
And when their biggest allies in the war against the Hunters are captured, the Wild Women are left scrambling for support in the unlikeliest of places.
