The year is 1672. Hangman Jakob Kuisl and his family travel to Munich, the cosmopolitan heart of Bavaria, for a meeting of the prestigious Council of Twelve, the leaders of the empire’s hangmen’s guild - prestigious for dishonourable hangmen at least. But something dark is happening behind the scenes: in the past weeks, young women have begun turning up dead. At first the authorities assume they are a rash of suicides, but when Kuisl notices that each woman possesses a matching amulet, suspicions arise that someone is murdering them.

Bar owner Camden "Cam" Stone had a long past and a hard life. Baker "Fabulous" Fergus Ferdinand was a bull shifter, and yes, his mama did have a sense of humor, once. From the moment he'd come to the shifter town, people flocked to buy from him, eager for the new sweet sensations his business offered. Cam's suspicious nature, and his subsequent investigation into Fergus creates a whole stack of problems for the unlikely pair. Throw in a pair of pink unicorn pants, a mama in desperate need of saving, and a wolf with an éclair addiction, and the couple are kept busy 24-7....

As far as Liam Lamont's concerned, life sucks. His mate disappeared without a backward glance, he spends most of his time drunk and he has the worst case of blue balls in existence.

Simon liked the idea of having a Fated Mate; after all, Ra and Seth certainly seem happy enough. A random encounter in Jackson changes his thinking though, making him wonder if he should have thought that mate thing through more thoroughly. As a snake shifter, he was used to being alone. Who cared if he upset anyone or not? But his old behavior wasn’t going to win him any hearts, including his mate’s.

Wyatt is a planner, weighing up all the options before he decides. Only Fate has other ideas. Now Wyatt is dancing with Devil, just not in the way he’s expecting. James—aka—Devil, learns quickly through the assassin program the only way to survive is to shield himself in a cocoon of protection. Living a life where striking terror is far easier than dealing with messy emotions, only Wyatt isn’t letting him hide.
