Unfortunately, said employment happens to be with a group of sociopathic vampires-his family. And as much as Fort is loath to get too deep into the family business, when his brother, Chivalry, is temporarily unable to run the territory, it's up to Fort to keep things under control. So when the leader of a powerful faction of shifters turns up murdered, Fort finds himself tracking down a killer while navigating dangerous rivalries, longtime grudges, and hidden agendas.

The supernatural community is preparing for a massive shift in power within the Scott family leadership-and Fort has landed right in the middle of the gathering storm....
