When she finds a half-drowned white woman in the mine slough, Bennie takes her in because it's right--but she also hopes this odd, magnetic stranger can lead her to the proof she needs.

And now, the choices Motheater and Bennie make together could change the face of Kire itself . . .

A werewolf gang soars to ever greater heights--making the inevitable fall all the more terrifying--in this barking mad LitRPG from the author of My Vampire System.Gary Dem and his Howlers are running wild these days: claiming territory, making money, and preparing to hit the big time. Unfortunately, the world is taking notice of their, shall we say, beyond-human abilities--especially now that a new powerhouse drug is making the rounds, causing even more Crazed Altereds to pop up like a murderous plague.Which is one reason Howler heavyweight Innu has been called to a gathering of the Altered Hunters Association. Innu only joined the association to gain more skills and increase his strength, not to hunt Altereds. But when he survives a grueling and deadly gauntlet of tests, he's chosen to go on a year-long, cross-country monster-hunting trip.Before his departure, however, he must return to Slough to get his affairs in order. And the seemingly immortal leader of the Hunters, Edvard, has decided he wants to see where his new star acolyte was forged. But Innu would really rather not reveal his relationship with a gang of werewolves to a warrior sworn to destroy any and all Altereds.Plus, Edvard is actually something far more dangerous--and bloodthirsty--than anything the Howlers have faced before . . .The seventh volume of the hit progression-fantasy series--with more than five million views on WebNovel--now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!Tropes include: secret identity and monster hunters.
