Kita Nekai, on the run and the smallest of her shifter clanβa calico cat among lions and tigersβis being hunted.
She was expected to accept her role as her fatherβs successor whether or not her cat was up to the task of leading the clan. She disagreed. Now sheβs less than a step ahead of the hunters, bone-tired, cold, and living hand-to-mouth in the city of Haven. And thatβs the high point of her day. Sheβs also drugged, "accidentally" turned into a vampire, and sentenced to death for recklessly creating a rogue shifter who tortures its human prey.
Sheβs got seventy-two hours to find the rogue, evade a city full of hunters, prove sheβs not responsible for the rogue, and keep the vampire council from killing her. All while sorting out an apprentice mage, a married ex-boyfriend shifter-hunter, and the vampire who made her.
