Calliph and Mateo are back! The peace of the shifter pair's calm, quiet life is shattered by a visit from one of Calliph's old pack members. Calliph must travel to the town of his birth, Naolassel, to speak on behalf of his twin brother, Rupos, who has been charged with murder. But Calliph's decision will endanger his beloved kitten... not to mention their relationship. Can Mateo reconcile with who Calliph was-and what Calliph did-during the war, or is the truth of his wolf too much to bear?
