Henry Nuemann is tall, dark and rich and about to launch a new invention on the world. But he's also keeping secrets. He's a shifter - all fur and fangs - and a vigilante in the shadows of Seattle. Now that the world knows about Oriceran and magic, mayhem has come creeping up out of the bowels of the city. Henry is determined to push back. A new twisted figure has arrived on the scene - Bechtel Stryker - and he has an ancient bone to pick with Henry. His people, the Picts were robbed of their essence eons ago, and Henry has a piece of the puzzle. Stryker wants it back and he's willing to do whatever it takes. Will Henry negotiate with an ancient warrior when his loved ones are threatened? Or will he do what he does best? Fight with honor and to the end, even if no one ever knows his secrets.
