Sickness gnaws at the land and at the tribe. The river runs black with corruption. Black Rindle, child of a forbidden union, has befriended a woman -- a human who can see him for what he is. Who, unlike his own kind, accepts his deformity. But will Black Rindle's tender feelings for this woman doom the Garou?This third book in the Predator & Prey series shifts back to the perspective of the World of Darkness' monsters, at the fringes of human awareness.
This first book of White Wolf's exciting new Tribe Novel series shows the Garou - the werewolves of the World of Darkness - at their best and at the worst. In Shadow Lords, we see how the fractious Garou struggle for dominance over one another, and in Get of Fenris, at a Concolation - the largest gathering of Garou - we see them standing together in their endless war against the Wyrm. But how long can the Garou continue to fight this war? Their numbers are diminishing, and as this seven-book series will reveal, their past is being taken from them as well.
At a Concolation called by Karin Jarlsdottir of the Get of Fenris and others, the Garou decided that it was time to learn more about a dangerous Wyrm beast in the heart of Serbia that seems to only be growing stronger. In the Silent Striders portion of this second book of the Tribe Novel series, this foe is sought within the Umbra. In Black Furies, the Garou attempt to gain information in the physical world, and that demands a journey through many blighted lands.
