Synopsis
Sinner, a standalone follow-up to the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, follows Isabel Culpeper and Cole St. Clair as their complicated relationship continues in a new setting, Los Angeles, far from the werewolf pack and small-town tensions that defined the earlier novels. Cole, seeking to reclaim the music career he abandoned, pursues a public comeback through a reality television show called NARKOTIKA, placing his personal struggles with his lupine condition and his volatile history under a spotlight neither he nor Isabel is fully prepared for. As Cole navigates the pressures of fame and Isabel confronts her own guarded feelings for him, the two must decide whether their relationship, and Cole's uneasy relationship with his own transformation, can survive the scrutiny of his return to public life.
