No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
When I change I change fast. The moon drags the whatever-it-is up from the earth and it goes through me with crazy wriggling impatience . . . Im twisted, torn, churned, throttledthen rushed through a blind chicane into ludicrous power . . . A heel settles. A last canine hurries through. A shoulder blade pops. The woman is a werewolf.
The woman is Talulla Demetriou.
Shes grieving for her werewolf lover, Jake, whose violent death has left her alone with her own sublime monstrousness. On the run, pursued by the hunters of WOCOP (World Organisation for the Control of Occult Phenomena), she must find a place to give birth to Jakes child in secret.
The birth, under a full moon at a remote Alaska lodge, leaves Talulla ravaged, but with her infant son in her arms she believes the worst is overuntil the windows crash in, and she discovers that the worst has only just begun . . .
What follows throws Talulla into a race against time to save both herself and her child as she faces down the new, psychotic leader of WOCOP, a cabal of blood-drinking religious fanatics, and (rumor has it) the oldest living vampire.
Harnessing the same audacious imagination and dark humor, the same depths of horror and sympathy, the same full-tilt narrative energy with which he crafted his acclaimed novel The Last Werewolf, Glen Duncan now gives us a heroine like no other, the definitive twenty-first-century female of the species.

"'Duncan is the cleverest literary horror merchant since Bram Stoker.' The Times 'Loaded with beautifully constructed lunatic ravings... It is a horror that never shies from the human side of lycanthropy; it is a disquisition on the nature of werewolf stories; it is a sublime study in literary elegance. It is bloody (and) brilliant.' - Independent on Sunday * 'A brilliantly original thriller, a love story, a witty treatise on male (and female) urges, even an existential musing on what it is to be human.' - Word Magazine * 'Playfully brainy... wry, world-weary Jake Marlowe would make a fabulous dinner companion. Just not during a full moon' - Justin Cronin, author of The Passage, New York Times * 'A magnificent novel. A brutal, indignant, lunatic howl. A sexy, blood-spattered page-turner, beautifully crafted and full of genuine suspense, that tears the thorax out of the horror genre to create something that stands rapturous and majestic and entirely on its own.' - Nick Cave"

Tavasz van Styriában. Márpedig ez háborút jelent. Tizenkilenc éve folyik a vér. A könyörtelen Orso nagyherceg brutális harcot folytat a civakodó Nyolcak Ligájával. Miközben hadseregek menetelnek, fejek hullanak és városok égnek, a színfalak mögött bankárok, papok és ősibb, sötétebb hatalmak marakod
