To protect individuals from evil yet remain undetected, the Fangborn follow strict rules – but werewolf Jack port Parker just helps to keep breaking them. Failing to disclose his romantic relationship with a standard could cost him his powers, yet there’s something irresistible about waitress Emily Vargas. For one thing, she appears to have no former – at least not just one she’ll discuss.

Jack port has kept his affair from the Family but not from his partner, Sully. Lucky for Jack port, Sully has more important things to accomplish than record him – like the duo’s unusual new task. An oracle can be barricaded in the Tower of London, refusing to carefully turn over a valuable sword until Jack port and Sully total an unusual task. If they succeed, the oracle may reveal Emily’s secret. But if just a little knowledge is usually a dangerous thing, too much can mean the difference between the future Jack port dreams about and a full time income hell.

Dana Cameron’s prequel novella brings new depth, richness, and intrigue to her acclaimed Fangborn series.
