The Wolf of the Lower Town
Idoia works in a lab in Tübingen and holds together a quiet life with Marek on the banks of the Neckar. Eight months ago she discovered that every time she lies to protect someone she loves, for a few hours her body cracks open toward something older: fine fangs, hair on her forearms, blood that smells of sulfur and memory. It isn't the moon. It's a protein her mother left her as inheritance, and a boss who has started asking questions. Decide what gets told, what gets kept quiet, and which body she returns to.
