    The Moonhaven werewolf duology

    Four friends are framed for a werewolf attack and must run, uncovering a deeper and older danger.

    A continuous two-book story. In The Last Wolf, the first werewolf attack in over forty years makes the Moonlighters — Jax, Jovi, Esau and Fourth — the prime suspects; with the Nighthawks closing in on anyone out after curfew, they are forced to run, and suspicion spreads until the truth proves more dangerous than any of them imagined. In The Hunter's Moon, Jax has vanished and his twin Jovi leads an urgent search, discovering that someone carrying an ancient vendetta is hunting him and that a pack of wolf-kin may be protectors or a threat. As the Hunter's Moon rises, the friends must overcome suspicion and betrayal to save their world. Spooky fun and heartfelt friendship, with over a hundred black-and-white illustrations by the author in each book.
