In the RITA® nominated Marked by the Moon, Alaska has never been so dangerous.

Once a Viking, now a werewolf, Julian Barlow has been hunting Alex since she killed his gentle wife. His plans of vengeance are downright devious. To make Alex understand, up close and personal, that not all werewolves are evil, killing machines, he makes Alex a werewolf too.

At his magical village above the Arctic Circle a rogue werewolf kills the innocent. Can Julian and Alex work together to save the rest of the pack? Or will they just tear each other apart?
