As the leader of the North American werewolves and one of the most powerful werewolf in the world, Bran Cornick, the Marrok, decided to make public their until now secretive supernatural existence. His reasons are clear, there is too much powerful people that knows about their existence already, and they are using that knowledge against them.
He schedules a meeting with the “unofficial” leaders of the werewolves from all the regions in the world in order to listen to their concerns, since this is obvious not a very popular decision among their kind. I say unofficial because the only place that there is a true leadership among werewolves is North America. The rest of the world doesn't have werewolves powerful enough to keep the others under control or they simply just don't want the burden.
The meeting is not supposed to put the decision up to a vote, the Marrok is merely giving the others the opportunity to express their concerns and to offer whatever help he can to help during the transition period. Not all countries are as liberal as the USA.
Charles, his son and enforcer, maybe as strong as his father, insists on going in his place to this meeting, due to a premonition he had about the safety of his father's life. The meeting will be full of the most strong and old Alpha werewolves in the world. Alphas don't deal well with other Alphas, and some of them hold a grudge against the Marrok.
He brings Anna with him because he thinks this trip might be good for her and for them as a couple. Her powers of an Omega wolf can be quite useful as well, as she has a calming effect on others, no matter how strong they are. She can even sooth the Marrok himself.
They begin their mission by enlisting the help of a Grey Lord, one of the leaders of the Fae, very old and powerful. She can guarantee that no violence will happen during the meeting. Charles had an affair with her some years back, and some tension grows between the three of them.
During the course of the meeting, some members are attacked, some are killed, some are framed, some of the authority figures have ulterior motives. But who is responsible for the apparent sabotage and why?
An enthralling mystery with great writing, good plot and okay characters. Some mythology is brought to the table, including King Arthur and his legendary sword, Excalibur.
