Costruirsi una nuova vita a New Orleans è tutto quello che Jason Thorpe desiderava: il suo pittoresco negozietto attira uno staff devoto e grazie al suo cuore premuroso e amorevole ha una leale cerchia di amici. Dopo essersi lasciato alle spalle il gelo di un’assurda e pericolosa notte nello stato di Washington, comincia a sentirsi soddisfatto, finché non scopre qualcosa di incredibile in agguato nelle tenebre fumose delle strade piene di ombre del Vieux Carré, qualcosa che si rivela terrificante… e del tutto affascinante. 

Il principe dei vampyr, Varic Maedoc, è in visita a New Orleans quando scopre che l’uomo che aveva soccorso il suo consigliere è lì nel Quartiere Francese. Pensa di limitarsi a incontrare Jason e ringraziarlo… finché non posa lo sguardo su di lui. Varic, che ha dedicato la vita a proteggere l’onore della sua razza, non ha mai voluto un compagno, ma sa immediatamente che deve avere quell’uomo, e che non andrà bene nessun altro.

Ora, incapace di distinguere i nemici dagli amici, Jason deve trovare un modo per tenersi stretto il cuore del principe intanto che lotta per la propria vita.

Lorsque l’hiver s’abattra, les Loups franchiront le mur et dévoreront les petits garçons dans leur lit.

Le Dr Nicholas Blake a beau avoir peur du noir, il sait que les histoires de monstres racontées par sa grand-mère pour le tourmenter durant son enfance ne sont pas réelles. 

Ou du moins, il le pensait… avant de voir la mer geler, le pays être paralysé par la neige, et de trouver un homme à l’agonie, se vidant de son sang sous le regard d’une étrange femme morte. À présent, ses cauchemars empiètent sur sa vie et seul son patient imprévu semble connaître le fin mot de l’histoire. 

Pour Gregor, la situation est simple : ces traîtres de prophètes l’ont mutilé et lui ont volé son frère, Jack, et il compte bien les faire payer. Sans son loup, la tâche s’avérera difficile, mais jamais il ne laisserait quelqu’un d’autre tuer son jumeau à sa place, même s’il doit quémander de l’aide auprès de son médecin très attirant, mais trop humain.

Cependant, peut-être les prophètes visent-ils un but pire que la mort, et peut-être Nick s’avère-t-il moins humain qu’il le pense ? À mesure que les cadavres s’entassent et que les vieilles histoires se réalisent, les deux hommes doivent se serrer les coudes pour sauver Jack et empêcher les prophètes de réveiller une chose plus terrible encore que l’hiver de loup.
