The undead criminal world of the city of Cincinnati, famous for its crime. Vampires, whose territory is considered to be stylish clubs... Werewolves lying in wait for their victims on the paths of night parks... Demons who happily drink the souls of unwary sorcerers... The police cannot and do not try to cope with such a “contingent”. So, this is where the work begins for the white witch Rachel Morgan, the “bounty hunter” and worthy heir to Anita Blake and Harry Dresden! But this time Rachel will have to defend her original enemies. Someone is killing the werewolves of Cincinnati one by one. Who is this killer? What is he trying to achieve? One thing is clear so far: what is happening is somehow connected with the leader of the pack of werewolves, David, who has become the new keeper of the secret of Rachel's ex-lover... But what is this secret? Why is she so dangerous?..
