Even the Lion of Atlanta, and the daughter of Evil (she does not take after her father) have bills to pay. Her former employers the Mercenary Guild are willing, if not happy, to hire them both. Being a mercenary and skilled swords woman, she has mad job skills. Thank goodness his wife's problems are quite interesting. Curan may not have the title of Beast Lord, but it is more than a title it is what he is, and leaving left a hole. So leaving the Pack that he spent years forming and supporting was not a deal breaker to keep both it and Kate safe from a great Evil. The Pack repaid his work by not fully accepting his human wife, (well they kept challenging her to duels to the death for leadership of the Pack while he was in a coma, so that's less than accepting). In the early books we learn that Curan formed the Atlanta pack of different shape shifters because as a youngster his family was torn apart by a band of loupes, shape shifters who have gone crazy. Goodness, many authors can't keep their characters within their original personalities within one book, much less eight. Not only does the story arc keep climbing over all eight books without a stutter, the characters grow and change from book one to book eight, and still remain remain consistent. While waiting for this book I listened to all seven of the early ones from the beginning. I can think of only one other series which develops the overall story without once tripping over earlier plot lines, and this series is flawless.
