Secret shifters and unwitting savage witches are being drawn to one magical spot in the Nantahala Forest, in order to save humanity from ancient vampires who feed on women under the cover of crime and corruption.
Dallas Manteo is a half-jaguar shifter living life as a human. He never wanted to join ‘The Cause’, but when his sister quit her job to join a shifter cult who thinks they fight vampires, Dallas had to travel across the country to straighten her out.
Come to find out, vampires are real, his sister is doing fine, and some magical house named Credence thinks Dallas belongs with The Cause, even if their leader does not.
Dallas is ready to feel useful again. He’s ready to feel strong again. After a combat injury forced him to make the most difficult decision of his life, he’s ready to move on as best he can.
Then he sees gorgeous Bonhi Candor and she glows, just like the switches that shifters are meant to serve and protect. But for some reason, Dallas is the only shifter who can see Bonhi glow, making the other shifters think Dallas is lying… or worse, addled by his past injury.
Dallas needs no pity. He vows to figure out the mystery on his own if that’s what it takes.
Bonhi Candor doesn’t have time for a man. She’s running a one-woman show as a small-town lawyer battling small-town problems. Judge Elizabeth Sturn has a personal problem with Bonhi and criticizes everything about her—her clothes, her hair, the spelling of her name, and even the way she presents her cases.
But when Bonhi is physically attacked over her newest case, she has to wonder: has the judge finally gone too far, or is it something else entirely? The handsome stranger who just saved her says it’s something else entirely. Something about men who can shift into animals and women who wield magic against vampires.
Bonhi refuses to believe it. Men can’t turn into beasts, vampires don’t exist, and magic isn’t real… right?
Judge Sturn must simply be trying to drive Bonhi insane.
