Synopsis

In a world teetering on the brink of supernatural war, tensions between humans and fae have reached a breaking point. When coyote shapeshifter Mercy Thompson and her Alpha werewolf mate, Adam Hauptman, are called to quell a rampaging troll, they stumble upon a discovery that could either prevent or ignite a full-scale conflict: a young human boy, stolen by the fae decades ago and now unexpectedly free. This 'fire touched' child is a potent wild card, feared by fae and humans alike, and his existence could be the key to peace or the catalyst for unimaginable destruction. Defying the commands of the most powerful werewolf in the country, the human government, and the vengeful fae, Mercy and Adam, alongside their resilient pack, commit to protecting the boy at all costs. Their decision plunges them into a high-stakes struggle where alliances are fragile, enemies are relentless, and the price of protecting an innocent could be their very lives, as they must contend with a child whose unique abilities threaten to consume everything in his path.
