The night stopped whispering. Now it screams.
Donovan Hale survived the curse that should have killed him.
But survival comes with a price. Casper is dead, torn apart by Hale's claws. Chief's warnings are buried in blood. And the Rosetti crime family is no longer pretending to be human.
Under the rising Blood Moon, Leo Rosetti embraces a monstrous evolution that could turn the city into his hunting ground. Loyalties fracture. Old codes burn. Reggie Rosetti is caught between blood and vengeance in a war where family has become a weapon.
Meanwhile, two ancient predators move their pieces in the dark. Rose and Vastaso-bitter rivals centuries in the making-both claim Hale as part of a destiny older and deadlier than he understands.
As shadows gather over the city, the monsters who built this world prepare to tear it apart. When the moon reaches its zenith, one truth remains:
There is no outrunning the beast. Not in others. Not in yourself.
The war for the throne of the night has begun. Only one predator will survive it.
