Synopsis: Talia Thornwood’s life ended one year ago, when she became a werewolf. She survived the attack, and the horrifying transformation a month later, but the life she has now is barely worth living. She lurks about in a filthy, run-down house, with too many werewolves crammed into too small a space. Every day is a struggle against the stress of human contact, the romantic prodding of her obnoxious packmate Pierce, and the gnawing hunger for flesh in her soul.
She’s all but resigned herself to a dreary existence on the margins of society when she meets Corwin. Corwin is a werewolf like none other. He walks among humans as if it was nothing, and can keep his wolf under control even when the moon is full. Talia’s mind is suddenly opened to the possibilities before her, and the realization of how little she really knows about lycanthropy.
Corwin claims that he can teach her how to cope as he does, even how to transcend her affliction. But it will not be easy. It is a hard education that requires her to question everything her pack taught her, and confront exactly what she has become. And, more amazingly, what she never stopped being.

Résumé (Traduction personnelle) : La vie de Talia Thornwood a pris fin il y a un an, lorsqu’elle est devenue un loup garou. Elle a survécu à une attaque, et à l’horrible transformation un mois plus tard, mais sa vie vaut à peine le coup d’être vécue. Elle vit dans une maison délabrée et sale où de nombreux loups garous s’entassent dans un tout petit espace. Chaque jour, elle lutte contre la peur du contact humain, les propositions romantiques de l’odieux Pierce et sa faim grandissante pour la chair.
Elle s’était résignée à une existence en marge de la société jusqu’à ce qu’elle rencontre Corwin. Corwin est un loup comme nul autre. Il se promène au milieu des humains comme si de rien n’était, et il contrôle son loup même lors de la pleine lune. L’esprit de Talia s’ouvre soudainement à de nombreuses possibilités, et elle se rend finalement compte qu’elle ne connait rien de la lycanthropie.
Corwin annonce qu’il peut lui enseigner tout ce qu’il sait et même à transcender son affliction. C’est une éducation très difficile qui remettra tout en question, et qui la confrontera à ce qu’elle est devenue. Et, à ce qu’elle continuera à être.
