Perfect for you if...

  • You love WWII thrillers that blend historical detail with supernatural edge, not just straight military fiction.
  • You're drawn to antiheroes who use their darkest qualities as weapons, especially when the stakes are saving lives.
  • You appreciate slower-burn character work paired with propulsive plot, where the spy's internal conflict matters as much as the mission.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a traditional werewolf story where the mythology is explained and explored; this uses the curse as a tool, not a focus.
  • You prefer lean, fast-paced thrillers without backstory or introspection slowing the action.
  • You're looking for uplifting or hopeful fiction; this ventures into genuinely dark territory as it interrogates the cost of war.

About this book

Michael Gallatin, a Russian émigré operative for the British Secret Service, is a werewolf and master spy. Allied Intelligence has learned of a Nazi strategy called Iron Fist designed to thwart the D-Day invasion. Gallatin is brought out of retirement as a personal courier and tasked with parachuting into Nazi-occupied France to locate an informant under Gestapo surveillance and retrieve critical information about the plan. Gallatin is uniquely qualified for the mission because of his supernatural abilities. As the Normandy landings approach within hours, he must navigate the dangerous streets of Paris while evading Nazi forces. Caught in the Third Reich's machinery, Gallatin must unleash his internal demons to succeed in his race against time. This novel combines WWII espionage thriller elements with dark fantasy, featuring richly detailed and intricately plotted historical suspense.
