Synopsis
Brothers Cal and Niko Leandros know trouble when they see it, and then proceed to wipe the floor with it. But Cal’s nightmarish monster side is growing ever stronger, changing him physically as well as mentally, which is exactly what Grimm, Cal’s savage doppelgänger, wants. And when a covert supernatural organisation decides that it is time to put Cal down before he threatens pretty much everything else in existence, the brothers find themselves in a fight they might actually lose, in which the dark temptations Cal has denied all his life may prove to be exactly what can save them.
