On the fringes of society, new challenges await. Nick Stead must now learn to adapt to life without the human comforts he's always taken for granted, in a world which has no place for werewolves. Killing feels like the only thing he has left, but indulging his bloodlust comes at a high price, one that could cost him his life.
It's no longer just the Slayers on his trail but a new threat stalking the shadows, and possibly even Death himself. Nick soon finds himself hunted at every turn as his allies begin to turn against him. It seems Death is closing in, and there's nowhere left to run.
