Revenge which begins with the brutal slaughter of a wendigo in the northern Michigan town of Tamarack, a long-established werewolf territory.

Libriomancer Isaac Vainio is part of Die Zwelf Porten re, better known as the Porters, the organization founded by Gutenberg to protect the world from magical threats.
