Winner of the Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Epic Fantasy

In the realm of the Hundred, the Black Wolves have become the elite warriors of the king. For fifteen years, they've been chasing the last four cloaked demons, dangerous beings who ride winged horses and can dazzle their prey, penetrating their thoughts, dreams, and memories.

The peace and order of the Hundred is at stake—and the king can brook no weakness. To that end, he sends Kellas, his most efficient and productive wolf, to hunt down a traitor in their ranks. Success on the mission elevates Kellas's rank to captain of the prince's guard. As the fates of Kellas and the kingdom intertwine, deadly violence and treachery seem to be on the rise with enemies both demon and human threatening to plunge the Hundred into chaos and conflict. And now Kellas is starting to think he may be on the wrong side of this war . . .
