Nach dem großen Krieg zwischen Menschen und Tierwandlern wurde vereinbart, dass Halbwandler die Welt regieren sollen. Alle hundert Jahre findet eine Hochzeit zwischen Mensch und Tierwandler statt. Wer einen Halbwandler zur Welt bringt, dessen Kind wird der nächste Herrscher der Allianz. In meinem vorigen Leben heiratete ich den erstgeborenen Sohn des Wolfsclans, der für seine Hingabe berühmt war, und gebar ihm noch vor den anderen einen weißen Halbwolf. Unser Kind wurde der nächste Herrscher über die Allianz, und so fiel ihm zwangsläufig unermessliche Macht zu. Meine Schwester hingegen heiratete aus Gier nach Schönheit in den Fuchsclan, doch der Erbe war ein notorischer Schürzenjäger. Sie infizierte sich mit einer Krankheit und verlor ihre Fruchtbarkeit. Vor Eifersucht zündete meine Schwester an und verbrannte mich und meinen jungen weißen Wolf bei lebendigem Leib. Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück am Tag der Hochzeitszeremonie. Meine Schwester war bereits in Lukas Steinbergs Bett gestiegen. Ich wusste, sie war ebenfalls wiedergeboren. Doch was meine Schwester nicht wusste: Lukas war von Natur aus grausam und verherrlichte Gewalt – bei weitem kein guter Partner!

Am Ende starb ich, mit seinem ungeborenen Kind im Leib. Nun, da ich noch einmal leben durfte, würde ich ihnen den Weg freimachen. Doch was ich nicht ahnte: Auch Egon Weber war zurückgekehrt!
