Werewolves in Manhattan.

 

When an ambassador’s wife suffers a brutal animal attack outside the United Nations Headquarters, FBI Special Agent Brianna Tildascow discovers the first link in an unimaginable chain of terror: a disease that causes humans to become wolfish beasts under the light of the moon.

 

Each night, the victims multiply. The outbreak threatens to become an epidemic.

 

Blogger and self-described werewolf expert “Lon” Toller prefers to dwell within the comfort of his basement mancave. Introverted and intolerant, he can’t even muster the courage to meet his online girlfriend face to face. Then the black helicopters arrive.

 

Dr. Jessica Tanner, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lives in the shadow of her charismatic virologist husband. If they have anything in common, it’s their dedication to science. But when the werewolf disease challenges their most fundamental beliefs, their personal and professional foundations begin to crumble.

 

The situation in New York detonates on New Year’s Eve, when werewolves transform amid the unsuspecting Times Square crowd. With blazing speed and impossible agility, the creatures evade snipers and tear through the stampede, leaving carnage in their wake. As the city descends into chaos, authorities seal Manhattan Island.

 

But Special Agent Tildascow discovers someone in the crowd: a mysterious stranger who walks unharmed among the wolves. His name is Demetrius Valenkov, and he has a message for the United States of America: FIND A CURE.

 

Tildascow is no ordinary agent of the FBI; She has undergone clandestine experimental training to become the best manhunter in the world. Ruthless by design and necessity, she’s the government’s secret weapon against would-be domestic terrorists. Her targets become her victims.

 

Now her prey is Demetrius Valenkov. He’s a brilliant strategist in his own right, but his gambit is flawed: It would be impossible to find a cure before the werewolves escape New York—and that must be prevented, no matter the cost.

 

As the US armed forces deploy all of their resources for an unprecedented siege, their commander-in-chief faces a president’s ultimate nightmare: the authorization of a devastating tactical strike against American citizens on American soil.

 

The clock ticks in New York, the CDC, and the White House, as Tildascow and her unlikely partner, Lon Toller, embark on a desperate hunt for Demetrius Valenkov. What they find is a new, mysterious ally—and the sinister secret of the curse that threatens all of mankind.

 

Time is running out. And the moon is rising.
