For centuries, vampires, werewolves, witches, and wizards argued this question: if they're superior to humans, then why hide in the shadows? Putting their differences aside, the supernatural groups band together and take over the world, establishing a feudal system in which they are the lords and nobles, and the humans are their serfs. In the city of Atlanta, Grover "Mutt" Davidson, half-wizard, half-werepanther, is caught in the middle of a territorial war between the vampires and the humans in Fort Buckhead, home of the last free men. Meanwhile, something rotten festers in the heart of downtown; something the supernaturals are powerless to fight. If Mutt doesn't stop this growing evil soon, it will swallow every human and supernatural in its path.
