While teenage werewolf Kalix MacRinnalch is being pursued through the streets of London by murderous hunters, her sister, the Werewolf Enchantress, is busy designing clothes for the Fire Queen. Meanwhile, in the Scottish Highlands, the MacRinnalch Clan is plotting and feuding after the head of the clan suddenly dies. As the court intrigue threatens to escalate into all-out civil war, the competing factions determine that Kalix's vote is critical to assume leadership of the clan. Unfortunately, Kalix isn't really into clan politics-laudanum's more her thing. Even more unfortunately, Kalix is the reason the head of the clan ended up dead, which is why she's now on the run in London.
This expansive tale of werewolves in the modern world-elegant werewolves, troubled teenage werewolves, friendly werewolves, homicidal werewolves, fashionista werewolves, warriors, punks, cross-dressers, musicians-an entire Clan of Werewolves getting in trouble from the Scottish Highlands to London, and in several dimensions beyond, is hard-edged, hilarious, and utterly believable
