Carl Thomas Fox delivers a tale set in a metropolis terrorized by killings that resemble wild beast attacks. Investigators probing these deaths discover a secret group aiming to eradicate humanity via savage methods. The villains are legendary creatures driven by lunar cycles and rage, headed by dominant leaders, one of whom dates back to the medieval period. The plot blends gothic horror with supernatural themes, highlighting the struggle between police work and old-world monsters. Fox builds the story around the officers' growing understanding that they face a systematic purge, not random crimes. The narrative thrives on the contrast between modern detective work and ancient terror. This novel fits fans of gritty urban fantasy and werewolf mythology. It might disappoint those looking for cheerful supernatural stories or factual histories from the Middle Ages. The focus stays sharp on the danger posed by these dominant figures and their organization.
