Ben Mears, ein mittelmäßiger Schriftsteller, kehrt nach Jahren in seine Heimatstadt Salem's Lot zurück. Er interessiert sich auffällig für das Marsten-Haus, das als Spukhaus gilt und seit dem rätselhaften Tod seiner Bewohner im Jahr 1939 leer steht.

Früher hätte sich die Menschheit durch ihre Lügen fast ausgerottet – die Überlebenden haben geschworen, dass es nie wieder so weit kommt. Heute erscheint jedes gesprochene Wort narbenähnlich auf der Haut. Die Elite herrscht stumm, während die sprechende Bevölkerung als Abschaum gilt. Olive und Kyle kommen aus zwei verschiedenen Welten. Die achtzehnjährige Olive lebt in einer Welt, die von absoluter Stille und Reinheit geprägt ist. Selbst unter der stummen Oberschicht gilt sie als Juwel. Kyle dagegen trägt tausende Wörter auf der Haut und ein gefährliches Geheimnis im Herzen.

Ein Tyrannenkönig, der gestürzt werden muss – und das, während die Zeit gegen mich läuft und meine Schwestern irgendwo in der Dunkelheit verloren sind. Mein Name ist Kiki, und ich bin eine gescheiterte Dämonenjägerin. Für Menschen wie mich sollte es eine Zwölf-Schritte-Gruppe geben. Doch statt Erlösung finde ich ein Geheimnis – eines, das mich in ein fremdes Reich schleudert, weit weg von allem, was ich kenne. Kein New York. Keine Regeln. Nur Fragen … und Flügel auf meinem Rücken. Und dann ist da dieser Mann – Soren. Mit Augen wie Eis und einer Aura, die nach Ärger riecht.

This is not my week. Or month. Or year. My now-ex-boyfriend cheating on me with my best friend? I'd get over it eventually. Finding out my sister has Lycan wolf DNA and I have hours to get her out of the city before she's locked away in a government research facility? I definitely didn't see that one coming. To save my sister's life, we take off in the middle of the night following cryptic instructions from our late father to what was supposed to be the toxic wastelands. Imagine my surprise when we stumble into a fairy tale civilization of wolf shifters where magic is real.

I never expected life to be easy . . . As the youngest female Alpha in the region, I had to fight to keep my title and claim my pack. Through blood and sweat, I dragged Cerberus out of the dark ages and built a safe haven. I was proud of everything I'd done. Everything changed on what was supposed to be the best day of any shifter's life. All the walls I'd built came crashing down with one look at my fated mate. Never once in my wildest nightmares, did I expect this dark and unhinged Alpha to be mine.

I was happy. I had finally won—the past was behind me, my enemies dead, and my mate at my side as we jointly ruled our pack. Or so I thought. Being Alpha isn't easy, and bad blood lingers between our elders. Fights and distrust hover like unwanted pests, our pack a tinderbox set to explode with only a single spark. To make matters worse, loose ends with the vampires threaten our safety, and that last thing I want is more dead cubs. I'd kill every vampire in the west if that's what it would take, but it seems there's something bigger at play, pulling the strings for all supernaturals.

I was lucky to escape my last pack with nothing but a few scars—a cheap price to pay for my freedom. It was supposed to be just another run to calm my wolf, but I wasn't going to ignore those cubs' screams for help—even if they were from a rival pack. What I didn't expect to find was a feral vampire, or the wolf who would change everything. The Alpha who caught me is like all the others-all raging temper and muscles. And yet . . . his pack is different than mine. But no matter how much my wolf cries 'mate', I need to break free.
