Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must stop a disaster of world-shattering proportions in this exhilarating entry in the No. 1 New York Times bestselling series.
In the supernatural realms, there are creatures who belong to winter. I am not one of them. But like the coyote I can become at will, I am adaptable.
My name is Mercy Thompson Hauptman, and my mate, Adam, is the werewolf who leads the Columbia Basin Pack, the pack charged with keeping the people who live and work in the Tri-Cities of Washington State safe. It's a hard job, and it doesn't leave much room for side quests. Which is why when I needed to travel to Montana to help my brother, I intended to go by myself.
But I'm not alone anymore.
Together, Adam and I find ourselves trapped with strangers in a lodge in the heart of the wilderness, in the teeth of a storm of legendary power, only to discover my brother's issues are a tiny part of a problem much bigger than we could have imagined. Arcane and ancient magics are at work that could, unless we are very careful, bring about the end of the world . . .

Healing
This was such a great installment in the Mercy Thompson series which picked up on the damage the Soul Taker had rended on Mercy. That damage was a crucial element of what happened in this story and the enhanced senses Mercy had were interesting and exposing.
Frost giants, Norsk Ragnorok, hell hounds and white stags were the order of the week. The whole story had a cold, snowy and dangerous vibe. What I especially loved about this book was that this was an Mercy-Adam duo, not seperated but working together. I feel like we don't get that enough or that getting that experience now makes me appreciate it more.
There were a whole host of supernatural beings in this one, more than normal it felt. I just about coped with the ghosty bits!
Bonarata is lurking ominously in the background and I have a feeling that that battle is ahead next. I cannot wait. I will read this series as long as Briggs keeps writing it (please keep writing it).
Thank you to Orbit books for the eARC.
