Synopsis Yumi a toujours été une chasseuse. Issue d’une lignée légendaire de pourfendeurs de loups-garous, elle n’a jamais remis en question les ordres ni la haine transmise de génération en génération. Jusqu’à cette nuit.

Ce qui aurait dû être une traque se transforme en une révélation. Et face à ses supérieurs, alors qu’on s’apprête à faire un choix raisonnable, elle murmure l’impensable : « Mords-moi. » Ce geste pourrait tout changer. Peut-être même mettre fin à une guerre séculaire. Mais à quel prix ? Dans un monde où les monstres ont un nom et où l’amour est un crime, Yumi devra choisir : rester l’héritière d’une haine ancienne… ou devenir l’alliée de ce qu’elle a toujours combattu. Entre passion interdite, trahisons et métamorphoses, le cœur de Yumi devient le champ de bataille ultime.
