A contemporary supernatural city where humans and werewolf packs coexist under overlapping civil law and pack custom. The Blackthorn Pack holds major business and political influence, and its hierarchy includes an Alpha heir, a Beta, a Luna, and mate-bond traditions. The story moves through the Blackthorn family manor and private estate, Monroe Fragrance Studio, Nightfall Club, the county clerk's office, and the Moonlight Charity Gala. Smartphones, social media, private bank cards, and modern contracts coexist with scent recognition, partial wolf transformations, and a dangerous sensitivity to silver.
