The hunter became the hunted. Now she must master the monster she’s become.

Raina Holt was raised to kill werewolves—trained to track, to strike, to never hesitate. But when a single bite shatters her oath and twists her into the very creature she swore to destroy, everything she believes burns to ash. The clock is ticking: if she can’t find a cure before the next blood moon, the change will consume her forever.

Her only hope lies with Lucien Vale, the enigmatic Alpha of the Blackthorn Pack—the same wolf she once tried to kill. His world is savage, secretive, and bound by laws older than sin. To survive, Raina must navigate the pack’s dangerous politics and the pull of the beast within… even as Kael Draven, a rogue Alpha with a god complex, rises to awaken a power that could end humanity itself.

Torn between the man she should hate and the monster she fears becoming, Raina faces an impossible choice: cling to her fading humanity—or embrace the darkness that might be her salvation.

The moon is rising. The hunt has begun.
And in Haven’s Hollow, no one escapes the call of the wild.

For fans of Patricia Briggs and Anne Bishop, Howl of the Forbidden is a dark, seductive tale of love, vengeance, and the savage beauty of the beast within.

Michael Clanton writes dark fantasy and paranormal romance filled with danger, desire, and the monsters that make us human.
