A Taint In the Blood

by Stirling, S M

View our feature on S.M. Stirling’s A Taint in the Blood.

First in the new Shadowspan series from the New York Times bestselling "master of speculative fiction" (Library Journal). Eons ago, Homo Lupens ruled the earth. Possessing extraordinary powers, they were the source of all of the myths and legends of the uncanny. And though their numbers have been greatly reduced, they exist still- though not as purebreds.

Now, to save humanity, he must battle the dark forces of the world-including those in his own blood...
