Publisher's Synopsis
Two houses, both alike in dignity... Lady Wilhemina Blackwood, the perpetually perturbed would-be duchess, never thought she would be stuck in Leicester chasing down a supernatural creature of all things with her most hated enemies. Feuding families all the way back to Adam and Eve, Blackwood and Cain would shed their own blood before they'd share a carriage with each other. Alas, Wilhemina has no choice in the matter. Her Majesty's orders and all. It wasn't a question of if Wilhemina would kill Bishop, it is how. Lord Bishop Cain, the philandering poisoner, never liked getting orders, not even from the queen. He especially loathed taking orders when they forced him onto a job with Wilhemina Blackwood. But there's something in Leicester that requires his attention. A beast with claws to catch and fangs to rend flesh from bone. A stalking black hulk that zips across the alleys, killing anything it finds. The city is no longer safe. Keep your children and wives indoors, dear people of Leicester. There's werewolves beyond the safe confines of your doors.
