Rice reunites readers with Reuben Golding and his fellow werewolf companions as they prepare for their Midwinter festivities. Reuben is stunned to discover that his girlfriend, Laura, has decided to receive the Chrism that will turn her into a werewolf as well. He is further shocked to learn that his hostile ex-girlfriend, Celeste, is pregnant with their child, and he marries her so that the child won’t be born out of wedlock. As if Reuben’s love life weren’t complicated enough, he starts seeing the ghost of Marchent, the lover whose brothers turned Reuben into a werewolf after they murdered her. Reuben realizes that Marchent hasn’t let go of the physical world, and he has to persuade the Forest Gentry, a group of old and powerful ghosts, to aid her.
