Three months after becoming a shifter, my bloodthirsty beast fights me for control of our shared body. My boss is unhappy with my erratic behavior. And Claw --- the enticing alpha who made becoming a werewolf semi-palatable --- is avoiding me while I try to transfer my wolf to his human sister. The transfer fails, but a vision promises I'll find mystical assistance on the other side of the country. Clinging to humanity during a problematic road trip in charge of human students, I'm left wondering whether my ordinary life will be there when I return for it. And will Claw still speak to me when my wolf is gone?
