Council

When vampires and werewolves start turning up dead across the five realms, the Universal Mythical Beings Council calls an emergency session—and the supernatural world holds its breath.

For Buddy, the summons to appear before the Council thrusts him into a political arena far more dangerous than any he's faced before. As the first known Tiny to emerge in thousands of years, his very existence has drawn the attention of powers ancient and formidable. Now he must navigate a chamber filled with beings who view him as everything from a curiosity to a threat.

At the heart of it all sits Circe, whose motives remain as enigmatic as her magic. Old alliances resurface. Ancient rivalries sharpen. And relationships long dormant begin to stir with renewed heat and old wounds.

But beneath the posturing and the politics, a darker question looms: someone is hunting the covenant's own, and the Council must decide whether to answer blood with blood.

The vote for war approaches. And nothing in the five realms will ever be the same.
