In a world where shadows hold secrets and power comes at a terrible cost, Michael has finally stepped out of obscurity and taken the Game by the throat. No longer content to lurk in the darkness, he's embarked on a path that guarantees confrontation with the formidable Powers who rule from unseen realms. But the Powers are merely the beginning of his troubles.
As Michael plays his dangerous game, enemies emerge from every direction. Some confront him openly, their intentions clear as sharpened steel.

The lone wolf finds himself surrounded, his own pieces scattered across the board as he navigates a web of intrigue that grows more complex with every passing moment.
The stakes have never been higher. Michael must trace an impossible line between remaining hidden and gathering the strength he needs to survive. His enemies multiply, their schemes twist into knots, and the attention of beings beyond human comprehension threatens to consume everything he's built. Can he maintain the delicate balance between obscurity and power? Or will his dreams for House Wolf crumble to ashes?
