Witch burnings, water trials, and public lynchings are forbidden under the rule of science. In exchange, the typical law-abiding, upright person has little cause for concern over nocturnal happenings. There are moments when I wish I was a regular citizen.
Technical Mercy Thompson has companions in both dark and low places. She now owes a favor to one of them. She offers to help her vampire buddy Stefan carry a message to another member of his type because she can shapeshift whenever she wants.
However, neither this new vampire nor the monster inside of him are typical.
