Book Blurb

After a year together, wolf shifter Derek Williams and vet Brian O’Donogue decide to marry. All Brian wants is to be legally part of Derek’s family, after his own disowned him for being gay. As far as Derek is concerned, he already belongs to his mate, heart, body, and soul. But their plans are put on hold when Derek discovers an injured young shifter, Tommy, one night while running as a wolf.

When they learn the truth behind Tommy’s presence in Washington, they are quickly drawn into a war that has waged in the shadows for decades. Brian, Derek, and their allies must fight against the Knights and their leader, Arcas, to prevent them from attaining an ancient scroll, one piece of a weapon that can destroy all shifters.

When worlds collide, no one will be spared.

Book Review

Besides being happy to be starting book ten in a series I have grown to love for its constant excitement, adventures, unpredictability, and the author’s willingness to tease me by dispersing information in a slow and steady manner, I was delighted to be returning to Brian and Derek whose story started the whole series off. Now, if the Knights, particularly Arcas, can be defeated, then my little corner of the world will be joyful.

Brian and Derek are still happy and in love a year after officially being together, although losing Derek's beloved old dog, Henry, has left grief to work through. It's so difficult being a pet owner, sometimes, because the fact is that they don't live as long as humans do, so it's incredibly painful every time we have to say good-bye, and I empathized with Derek and Brian. Life isn't completely perfect for them, though, as they're struggling a little financially, and Derek seems more upset about it and not getting carried away with their wedding, whereas Brian just wants a nice wedding. An argument as old as time.

When Derek runs across an injured teenaged wolf in his woods, he's not happy about finding a strange shifter in his territory. He has no choice but to take him home, and when Tommy tells Derek and Brian about he and his hawk shifter mate, Stacey, stealing the scroll from the museum and being attacked and shot at by three people…well, Derek knows trouble has just come to his town. Luckily he has an entire pack he can call to come and help, along with the Agency.

I would love to be able to say that the Knights were defeated, Arcas was captured, and shifters are finally safe. Alas, it is not so. But Derek, Brian, his pack, Agents Pan and Jin, plus Tommy and Stacey did manage to secure the scroll and keep it out of their hands. There will be more to come because this exciting adventure is far from over. Thank you, M.D., I was riveted to the pages.
