River Marked by Patricia Briggs

Mercy Thompson has always walked the line between two worlds—half coyote shapeshifter, half mechanic, and fully her own woman. But even marriage to the Alpha werewolf Adam Hauptman can’t protect her from the ancient forces waiting beyond the river. When Mercy is lured to a remote wilderness honeymoon, she uncovers a terrifying power that predates humanity itself. Drawn into a deadly struggle against primordial spirits and haunted by visions of her Native American ancestry, Mercy must face truths buried in blood and legend. Fierce, romantic, and deeply atmospheric, River Marked is a stunning chapter in the Mercy Thompson saga—where myth, magic, and destiny collide.
