There’s been a murder in sleepy town of Astraia, Dresden. What the media has described as “grotesque and chilling” is the death of twenty-four year old Giovanni Patris, of whom is presumed to have been claimed by a wolf. Astraia has always housed a lycanthrope pack—not that humans knew. The lycans have always respected the humans in the town. Tension has fallen over the town of Astraia as they herd their children into the safety of their homes every night before sundown. Officials have gone so far as to place a curfew on the students of Unova.

What few know, nonetheless, is that Giovanni Damante was a hunter who had been trailing an omega—a lone lycanthrope—and quickly fell into battle to rid the town of the scum that had shown itself. The clash, however, resulted in two deaths – one of the hunter, and one of the omega. Outraged, the Absit Metum has grown edgy with the supernaturals. The creatures, in turn, have become more protective of each other, refusing to allow an isolated incident to peg them as murderers. With the sudden boom in population, humans are raising their brows and questioning. Shifters have caught wind of the power struggle and have come to watch the show. Courts of faeries are swarming, offering their knowledge and services to both sides. So far, the waters are still. But how long will it take until ripples form?
