From there, the story moves from a rescue attempt to a realisation that Hester was only caught because there is a traitor in the pack’s midst. Charles and Anna go up the mountain to answer the call, and find Hester, a very old wolf, trapped in a cage made of iron and silver and guarded by paramilitary-type men. (Wildlings are the more troubled wolves in Bran’s care who live isolated from all but a select few of the pack because of their precarious mental state, brought about, usually, by great age). The action kicks off immediately, with a wildling urgently needing help. He and Anna are staying in Bran’s and Leah’s house for the duration and the extra interactions and responsibilities wear on the both of them. Charles isn’t particularly happy about this. Bran has decided to go to Africa to visit Samuel and his mate rather than come home to Aspen Creek, leaving the pack to remain under Charles’s protection and authority in his absence. While last year’s Mercy book wasn’t a roaring success for me, I did still enjoy it and all of the other books in both series have been stellar.įor those who haven’t read all the books yet – series spoilers follow so be warned.īurn Bright takes place about a week after the main action of Silence Fallen. I see this as a feature not a bug by the way. It is in the same universe as your Mercy Thompson books and the world building is so dense at this point, I think it is necessary to have read both series to fully understand the importance of what’s happening.

Something is still right in the world.īurn Bright is an Alpha & Omega book, featuring Charles and Anna Cornick.

It’s a new year and there’s a new Patricia Briggs book. Trigger warning: non-graphic references to sexual assault, torture and slavery.
