The Wolf at His Door

Adrian Lilly

Twenty-one-year-old Alec Rune is annoyed when his older sister, Lucy, ambushes him with a blind date with her friend, Jared. But Alec is immediately attracted to the intriguing, intelligent young man.

But the past has claws...

Ilene Rune nearly collapses when she meets her son’s new boyfriend. His black hair and startling green eyes are the same as a man she knew years ago — an evil, violent man with strange powers.

The present has teeth...

Investigating a string of missing persons cases leads Detective Carmen Salazar into the dark world of fairy tales and fantasy — and shakes her belief in what is possible or imagined.

And the future is filled with blood...

Alec awakes from a coma with no recollection of the night his twin brother was torn to pieces. As a madman closes in on him and his family, can Alec learn the werewolves’ plan before his entire family is destroyed?

This “multi-layered and unpredictable” (Christine Coretti) novel builds to “an absolutely epic ending” (Anthony Simpson).
