Detective Sarah Chen thought she was investigating a brutal family murder in the remote mountain town of Moonridge. Four bodies torn apart in their cabin, evidence that defied explanation, and a tight-knit community harboring deadly secrets. What she uncovered was a government conspiracy that spanned generations.

Systematic genetic slavery. International weapons trafficking. Breeding programs that treated human beings as livestock for producing supernatural soldiers. And werewolves-not mythological creatures, but organized civilizations with ancient laws and territorial claims that had been manipulating human societies for centuries.

Most horrifying of all, Sarah discovers that her own life has been orchestrated since birth. Every relationship, every career choice, every moment leading to Moonridge was carefully planned to awaken genetic potential that could either save millions of lives or trigger species warfare on a continental scale.

As Sarah's investigation deepens, she must confront the impossible choice between remaining human and embracing the power needed to stop systematic oppression that exceeds anything individual consciousness could imagine. Her transformation from detective to something far more dangerous will determine whether supernatural revelation leads to coexistence or evolutionary warfare that could reshape civilization itself.

This is not the werewolf story you expect. This is dark urban fantasy that explores systematic oppression, genetic experimentation, and the cost of awakening power that comes at the price of your humanity.

Perfect for readers who enjoyed the complexity of The X-Files, the government conspiracy elements of Stranger Things, and the supernatural politics of Patricia Briggs and Kim Harrison.
