There are so many characters and plots in this book that I can't really go into in too much detail. But here goes. Kalix is the youngest child in a powerful werewolf family. She is an outcast because of her attack against her father, a cutter and a laudnum addict.

The story focuses on many people. Kalix, her sister, 2 brothers, many cousins, her mother, her ex-lover and the humans she has befriended. There is romances, friendships, the battle for the Thaneship of werewolves, betrayal, etc. It's a pretty engrossing and detailed novel. But it doesn't drag on which is good too.

My only problems with the book are 2 plot lines. The one involving Malveria, a fire elemental, who is a client/friend of Kalix' fashion designer sister. I found that character and the plot involving clothes and fashion to be silly and boring. Also Kalix' depression and self loathing can get a little tiresome at times.

But overall I stll enjoyed the book and would suggest to others to read it.
