"Vengeance is a monster of appetite, forever bloodthirsty and never filled." --Richelle E. Goodrich Tarishe is a modest village surrounded by fortress walls meant to keep out one thing: werewolves. In truth, the wolves are scarcely bothersome and seldom seen excepting one night a year when a blood-red moon appears. This full Tarishe moon never fails to herald the arrival of an entire pack of hairy beasts, drawn to the village like greedy dragons to golden treasure. It is difficult enough to protect a young family in this world of dangerous creatures, but such a feat proves near impossible when an old witch bent on vengeance casts a curse that manipulates both heart and mind. The battle for survival is not only with a sword but an internal struggle to love those the curse has targeted for hatred, and to hate the one who through evil enchantment manipulates her enemy's affections. How long will it take to learn that the old monster, vengeance, is insatiable? This Tarishe tale is a thrilling piece of fiction told from the Queen of Werefolk's point of view.
