by Fernando M. Troche
Stephen Black never asked to become a monster. But one brutal attack under a full moon has shattered his life, awakening a curse he cannot control. Now caught between the world he once knew and a hidden reality filled with necromancers, supernatural hunters, and creatures that stalk the night, Stephen is pulled into a violent web of secrets.
As a rogue "Faux Garou" leaves a trail of bodies in the shadows, Stephen finds himself at the center of a conspiracy involving a mysterious magical order and his own family. Every instinct screams at him to run, but a powerful, feral hunger is growing inside him. To survive, Stephen must stop fighting the transformation and embrace the wolf he fears becoming. Gritty, fast-paced, and darkly emotional, Shattered Moonlight is a noir-fantasy thriller perfect for fans of Patricia Briggs and Jim Butcher.
