Kate and the Beast Lord are asked to go to Europe to be the third party at some important negotiations between three European packs. It’s an offer they can’t refuse – the payment will be in panacea, the availability of which is the difference between life and death when shape shifter children reach adolescence.
They’re well aware it’s a trap before they even leave, but when they get there, it’s even worse than they thought – Kate’s father’s deputy has maneuvered the whole thing to get her into his power, and it’s going to take every single bit of her power and skills to get her and the pack out of the negotiations alive.
The authors throw in some interesting twists to the shapeshifters of this particular world, and an interesting window into the fact that Kate’s father is not the only old power abroad in the world. There are also some important personal changes by the end of the story, and it’ll be interesting to see what kind of impacts those have going forward.
