When a Human chid is kidnapped in the middle of the night, everything points to a member of the Other society. This could have devastating consequences on the law they hope to pass, one which would give all Others the right to freedom, a chance to shake off the shackles the Humans insist they wear. To date, Detective Cade MacDonald has dealt with thirty-five cases where Others were proven to have ruthlessly killed Humans. Now, it seems, case thirty-six may have landed on his desk. Casey Mire is six years old when he spots a wolf in the woods. Unaware of the war between his species and the Others, he sneaks out in the middle of the night to find the elusive wolf. But little Casey never returns. It is now Cade’s job to uncover what happened to the young boy. At the same time, he has crucial decisions to make—about himself and about the rest of his life.
