    Terror stalks from beneath the Streets of Boston. 
    Detective Cait Reagan, forever changed by her relationship with Marcella Carson, has survived the opening of the Black Gate and the vampire curse. Now, seemingly cured, Cait has a new lease on her mortal life, but difficulties beset her at every turn. Cait’s mother, Róisín, is neurologically devastated, unable to function without constant supervision, and her reunion with Morgan Kennedy, the first woman she ever loved, is downright awkward. In the meantime, Cait struggles to raise Katie, the sixteen-year-old vampire she turned in a desperate bid to save her life. Once Cait’s enemy, Elizabeth is helping with Katie, but Cait’s relationship with Liz is tenuous and strange. And eight-hundred-year-old vampire Nastasia Volkova, the acting head of the vampire council, seems to have her eye on Cait, refusing to remove her from the roll of known vampires. 
    As if all of this turmoil wasn’t enough for one woman to handle, Marcella is missing, and someone is murdering the remaining vampires who survived the battle of the Black Gate. Nastasia has made it crystal clear that she wants the culprits found and brought to her brand of justice. Meanwhile, something sinister stalks from the Black Gate deep beneath Boston. 
    Cait must juggle her increasingly complicated personal life with the needs of her job, Nastasia’s strange fixation, and the whirlwind of her own desperate search for self as she grasps for answers to the question, ‘What is true evil?’

    His name is Cailean and he's a wolf shifter. However, he believes he is Tom Clayton, a popular author of mystery and paranormal books.
    One night he meets Gib, a seemingly homeless man, and offers him shelter in the lobby of his condo building. Gib takes advantage of that to visit Tom and tell him its time for him to come home, his real home. Baffled, because his condo is his home, Tom angrily tells Gib to leave, which he does, suggesting he consider two things -- Cailean and Blackmont. 
    Then, Tom has a dream about a shifter called Cailean who is banished from his pack for being a deviant. Gib is also in the dream, only his name is Gerulf. 
    Gerulf, still posing as Gib, returns to talk with Tom and is able to convince him the dream is in fact a memory of his earlier life resurfacing, that his true name is indeed Cailean, and that they had been lovers before his banishment, twelve years previously. It will take more than that, however, to awaken all of Cailean's memories. First, he must return to the pack's village at Blackmont Ridge to meet his father, the Alpha of the pack. 
    What ensues might change Cailean and Gerulf's lives forever -- if they survive. 
    NOTE: Story contains talk of rape and incest.
