Mercedes Thompson

"Mercy is a shapeshifter, and though she was raised by werewolves, she can never be one of them, especially after the pack ran her off for having a forbidden love affair. So she's turned her talent for fixing cars into a business... But Mercy's two worlds are colliding. A half-starved teenage boy arrives at her shop looking for work, only to reveal that he's a newly Changed werewolf - on the run and desperately trying to control his animal instincts. Mercy asks her neighbour Adam Hauptman, the Alpha of the local werewolf pack, for assistance. But Mercy's act of kindness has unexpected consequences that leave her no choice but to seek help from those she once considered family - the werewolves who abandoned her."--Publisher description.

Život Mercy Thompsonové prošel zásadní změnou. Když se stala družkou Adama Hauptmana – charismatického alfy místní vlkodlačí smečky –, stala se zároveň i nevlastní matkou jeho dcery Jesse. Tento vztah vnáší do Mercyina života požehnané okamžiky normálnosti. Ale na okraji lidskosti se může drobný incident za úplně normálního dne proměnit v něco mnohem většího. Po dopravní nehodě v rušném provozu se Mercy a Jesse nemůžou spojit s Adamem – vlastně s nikým ze smečky. Všichni byli uneseni. Skrze jejich pouto Mercy ví, že Adam je rozzlobený a trpí. Vlkodlaci bojují politickou bitvu za akceptaci veřejností a Mercy se obává, že s ní Adamovo zmizení může nějak souviset – a že on i celá smečka jsou ve velkém nebezpečí. Mercy čelí mnohem mocnějšímu protivníkovi a je na něj sama – možná bude nucena přijmout pomoc od jakéhokoli spojence, a to bez ohledu na to jak nepravděpodobný je.

Nečekaný telefonát přinese Mercy zajímavou výzvu. Bývalá manželka jejího druha Adama má problémy a je na útěku před svým novým přítelem. Adam není z těch, kdo by odmítli žádost o pomoc – a Mercy to ví. Když se ale Christy usadí v Adamově domě, nedokáže se Mercy zbavit pocitu, že na celé situaci není něco v pořádku. Brzy se její podezření potvrdí, když se dozví, že Christy nemá ani zdaleka dobré úmysly. Chce Adama zpátky a je ochotná udělat pro to cokoli, dokonce i obrátit Adamovu smečku proti Mercy. Mercy se nemíní vzdát bez boje, objeví se ale mnohem větší hrozba. Christyin bývalý není jen špatný člověk – vlastně možná není vůbec člověk. A když se začnou hromadit mrtvoly, musí Mercy odsunout stranou osobní problémy a postavit se tvorovi, který může roztrhat na kusy celý její svět.
