Under the rule of science, there are no witch burnings allowed, no water trials or public lynchings. In return, the average law-abiding, solid citizen has little to worry about from the things that go bump in the night. Sometimes I wish I was an average citizen... Mechanic Mercy Thompson has friends in low places-and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favor. Since she can shapeshift at will, she agrees to act as some extra muscle when her vampire friend Stefan goes to deliver a message to another of his kind. But this new vampire is hardly ordinary-and neither is the demon inside of him.

Mercy Thompson non è una creatura qualsiasi: cresciuta dai lupi mannari, può trasformarsi in un coyote in pochi attimi, il che la rende unica in un modo popolato da vampiri, troll, gremlin e licantropi. È un camminatore e nasconde la propria identità sotto il quotidiano lavoro di meccanizo. Un giorno si presenta nella sua officina un giovane mannaro, Mac, che non ha ancora imparato a controllare i propri poteri, e sulle cui tracce c'è un potente licantropo, per il quale Mac sembra fin troppo importante. Mercy chiede ad Adam, lupo mannaro alfa molto attraente, di proteggerlo, ma ben presto scoprirà di essere coinvolta in una guerra senza precedenti tra i clan dei non morti. E proprio allora dal passato di Mercy riapparirà un ex fidanzato che non vuole accettare cha tra loro sia finita...

In this powerful entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Mercy Thompson must face a deadly enemy to defend all she loves… My name is Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman, and I am a car mechanic. And a coyote shapeshifter. And the mate of the Alpha of the Columbia Basin werewolf pack. Even so, none of that would have gotten me into trouble if, a few months ago, I hadn’t stood upon a bridge and taken responsibility for the safety of the citizens who lived in our territory. It seemed like the thing to do at the time. It should have only involved hunting down killer goblins, zombie goats, and an occasional troll. Instead, our home was viewed as neutral ground, a place where humans would feel safe to come and treat with the fae. The reality is that nothing and no one is safe. As generals and politicians face off with the Gray Lords of the fae, a storm is coming and her name is Death. But we are pack, and we have given our word. We will die to keep it.
