Nicoletta Heron — At 27, Nicoletta was an old maid living in a little cabin, sending money home to her family—and she was fine with that. Until PYRE came and took away her freedom, her brother, and her arm. Now she’s a werewolf with blood on her hands—both flesh and prosthetic. Shielded with a wry sense of humor and an ability to keep secrets, fueled by the need to protect her loved ones, she’ll do what PYRE says until she can find the division’s soft underbelly… and then she’ll tear it out with her teeth.
Fex Woodward — Born to a people the world thinks are myths and legends, Fex learned young how to conceal his true nature. But needing to hide hasn’t diminished his spirit or joy in the world around him. Though centuries have passed, humans continue to delight and entrance him—and horrify him with the evils they will commit. Where this new government division falls on that scale has yet to be determined. He can only hope their mission is true, and what they’ve told him about helping his kind is honest.
Vano Heron — Giving people what they want comes easy to Vano, with his dark good looks and Romani heritage. Gypsy fortune teller? No problem. Happy party boy? He’s got that. When an accident nearly kills him and he ends up hospital bound, he even gives the doctors a taste of what it’s like to be a werewolf. What he can’t understand is why his beloved older sister won’t come to visit. Isolated and alone, he’d give his world for an afternoon with loved ones.
