Synopsis
Frost Burned continues the Mercy Thompson series when a car accident on a routine shopping trip leaves Mercy stranded and separated from her usual resources. Making her way back home, she discovers that Adam's entire pack, including Adam himself, has vanished without a trace, seemingly abducted. Piecing together fragments of information, Mercy realizes the pack has been taken by a secretive group of government mercenaries seeking leverage over Adam and the influence he holds within the werewolf community. With little time and few allies she can fully trust, Mercy sets off on a race against the clock to track down where her family has been taken before their captors can use them for their own ends. Forced to rely on her wits and a patchwork of contacts outside her usual circle, she works to uncover the truth and find a way to bring the pack home safely.
