Meg Corbin - Cassandra Sangue, or prophet by blood - can see the future if only a cut is made on her skin. This gift is more like a curse. The Master keeps Meg imprisoned, giving him full access to her visions. Meg escapes, and the only safe place where she can hide is Lakeside Yard, a business district run by the Others. Werewolf Simon Wolfgard does not want to hire a stranger who has asked to work as a Human Liaison. He senses that she is hiding something, and besides, she does not smell like human prey. However, an irresistible instinct prompts him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that the government is looking for her, he must decide whether she is worth the confrontation between humans and Others that will definitely follow.
