Welcome to the nightmare...
There is a world you don't
know about, inhabited by supernatural creatures of darkness – vampires,
werewolves, and all manner of savage, impossible beasts that live for
terror and slaughter and blood. They are all around us but you cannot
see them, for knowledge of their presence – so close and so hungry – would
surely drive any ordinary human insane.
But for centuries a
special breed of hunter has kept the monsters at bay, preventing them
from breaking through the increasingly fragile barriers protecting our
mortal realm.
These guardians are called skinners.
But beware... for there are very few of them left.
Cole Warnecki used to think werewolves feared silver bullets and
vampires were sexy party animals allergic to holy water. Real life is
never that simple.
Once Cole gets a look at what's really out
there, he cannot escape it. Shapeshifters have tracked his scent over
thousands of miles to reclaim a legendary weapon. A killer named
Misonyk has whipped a growing number of blood suckers into a frenzy. A
fiery brunette named Paige seems like a welcome distraction, but she
only wants to teach Cole how to fight. And then there's Henry. Skinners
are the most experienced monster killers out there and even they don't
know what to make of Henry.
