How it starts
Mercedes "Mercy" Thompson is a shapeshifter living in the Tri-Cities area of Washington State. Raised by werewolves but unable to fully integrate into their pack, Mercy has established herself as a skilled Volkswagen mechanic, running her own garage. Her unique ability to shift into a coyote at will sets her apart in a world where supernatural beings like werewolves, vampires, and fae exist, though many remain hidden from the general public. When a young, newly turned werewolf named Mac seeks her help, Mercy's life becomes entangled with the local werewolf pack, led by her neighbor, Alpha Adam Hauptman. As she delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding Mac's transformation and the dangers that follow, Mercy must navigate complex relationships and confront threats that challenge her independence and the safety of those she cares about. ⚠️ Content note: Threat of rape of a minor, some innuendo.
