Helix (Flewwelling)

Ishmael took something more dangerous than refugees out of that quarantine, but it's nothing compared to what awaits outside.Because of his crimes, his breach of quarantine, and his new and worrisome symptoms, Ishmael and his rescued Pack are pariahs among werewolves, loathed, and under constant suspicion.And yet, when bodies turn up in small-town Ontario, the Wyrd Council splits up Ishmael's Pack and sends him to investigate. He's hurried away from the safety and isolation of Varco Lake, and thrust into an anxious, tightly-knit community full of surveillance cameras, cell phones, and bad memories.Just when he grasps the enormity of the disaster waiting for him in Halo County, Ishmael realizes what's in his blood, and where it really came from.

Ishmael has been cured, but at what cost to him and his allies?Two members of Ishmael's Pack are missing in action. The rest are either cured, powerless, or unfit for the public eye. The Wyrd Council has been destroyed from the inside by politics and murder, and its last members have scattered to the wind, unwilling to pick a side.Ishmael's few allies have taken shelter in a bunker in Halifax, waiting for him to recover, waiting for him to choose a course of direction. Half a continent away, a panic-stricken town is under military-enforced quarantine, and the situation is about to become violent, and viral.When the Pack decides to bring the fight to Jay and his Bone Tribe, they're halted by a new player in the game.And just when Ishmael needs his wits about him, he realizes he's becoming the man he hates most: the man he was before infection.

What do you do when you wake up and realize you have been the villain all along?After years of working for CIRCE, Dr. Holly Eva Foster is beginning to realize why her patients have been dying off: she's killing them, but she doesn't know why.Meanwhile, following a devastating ambush and life-or-death surgery, the Padre discovers that his Packmates and colleagues suddenly revile and distrust him. Watching their behaviour degrade from bizarre to brutal, the Padre escapes, only to run into the arms of his least likely allies: enemies of CIRCE.For the sake of all humanity and other-kind, Eva and the Padre must risk their lives-and their minds-to rebel against one creature's well-intended quest: the annihilation of her own kind.
