Synopsis

After years of caring for her dying mother, Martha Shaw feels empty, exhausted and far older than her twenty-six years. So when her brother invites her to a weekend getaway at the opulent, two-hundred-acre country estate where his friend works, she reluctantly agrees. The owners and the staff are away, the security cameras are off, and for the first time in years Martha begins to feel human again. Then night falls, the rightful master of Newbourne Park returns, and she is not alone. What began as a lark becomes a bloody battle for survival where greed and morality collide. A darkly funny, blood-soaked take on the werewolf story from the author of Diavola.
