Product Description
In Quantum Moon, Denise Vitola created a nightmarish vision of the near future, an Earth with a minimum of peace, beauty and natural resources -- and a maximum of government corruption, control and greed. Now Vitola returns to that gritty, desperate world. The world of Marshal Ty Merrick.
Winter grips District One like a steel fist. Even the most basic resources are stretched to the breaking point. And Ty Merrick, weathering the psychological ravages of her lycanthropy, is busy. Three members of a secret sect devoted to nature -- known as the Opalite -- have been murdered.
Now, under the suspicious eyes of the government, Ty must venture into the frozen fringes of a bankrupt society where the Opalite keeps its secrets. Where the natural and supernatural collide. Where only a lycanthrope would feel at home...
