In the deep of night, over the peaceful English countryside, the Nazis prepare to drop their ultimate secret weapon—a band of spies who are ruthless, deadly, and immortal.

Dr. Alice Doyle hasn't time to ponder what happened to the mysterious man who tried to bite her before disappearing from her surgery. (Honestly, the manners of some.) Nor will she have her head turned by the handsome new ambulance driver, Peter Watson—a conscientious objector. No. Reason and logic are the order of Alice's day. Reason says Peter must not be kissed. A gravely injured man does not vanish from a gurney. And Alice must never reveal her true self and the secret powers she holds deep within her.

War has come to Brytewood. And to save the world, a band of Others must tap into their long-buried powers to overcome a sinister, supernatural threat more dangerous than anyone can imagine.

Brytewood, England. October 1940.
The peaceful village of Brytewood has already survived a secret Nazi vampire attack. But this is war, and where one immortal fails, another much more cunning comes to finish what was begun.

Gloria Prewitt, district nurse and werefox, has plenty to keep her busy, what with tending to the sick and wounded of Brytewood whilst hiding her Other nature. The absolute last thing she needs is a broken ankle, courtesy of munitions plant supervisor Andrew Barron's untimely run-in with her bicycle. But it isn't the injury to her ankle that has Gloria worried—it's the wild, uninhibited feeling she has as the dashing (and quite apologetic) man carries her in his strong, very male arms. It's enough to make her break her rule about not getting close to humans.

Gloria only means to have a war-time fling, not fall madly in love. But now that she has, how can she possibly tell Andrew her secret? Sly like a fox is one thing; furry like a fox is another. But as autumn comes to Brytewood, so does a sinister new threat, and Alice will have to risk everything to keep Andrew and England from falling into the ultimate darkness.
