In New York tobt ein Bandenkrieg zwischen verfeindeten politischen Gruppen, und die Straßen der Stadt werden zum Schauplatz blutiger Auseinandersetzungen. Für die THIRDS spitzt sich die Lage zu: Ein Maulwurf in den eigenen Reihen spielt der Ikelos-Koalition geheime Informationen zu. Das Einsatzteam Destructive Delta steht vor einer schweren Mission. Alte Wunden aus dem verheerenden Anschlag auf das Therianer-Jugendzentrum sind noch längst nicht verheilt, als eine Begegnung mit Mitgliedern der Koalition alles verändert. Agent Dex Daley stößt auf eine Wahrheit, die alles infrage stellt – und die Gewalt in einem neuen Licht erscheinen lässt. Während Dex und Sloane um Antworten ringen, geraten nicht nur ihre Beziehung, sondern auch ihr Leben in Gefahr. Wie hält man einen Feind auf, der immer einen Schritt voraus ist?

Nach einem Anschlag auf ein Therianer-Jugendzentrum gerät nicht nur das Team Destructive Delta unter Druck – auch zwischen Dex und Sloane läuft nicht alles rund. Während der fanatische »Orden von Adrasteia« mit Gewalt und Propaganda für Unruhe sorgt, kommen Geheimnisse aus der Vergangenheit ans Licht, die mehr als nur den Einsatz gefährden. Im Kampf gegen eine Organisation, die immer einen Schritt voraus zu sein scheint, zählt jede Entscheidung. Und vor allem eines: Vertrauen.

Gleich an seinem ersten Tag bei der Spezialeinheit der THIRDS weiß Detective Dexter J. Dale, dass ihm sein Vorgesetzter, der Panther-Shifter Sloan Brodie, nichts als Probleme bereiten wird. Nicht nur geraten die beiden bei jeder Kleinigkeit aneinander - zwischen ihnen herrscht auch eine sexuelle Anziehungskraft, die sie beide nicht leugnen können. Aber Beziehungen zwischen Kollegen sind bei den THIRDS streng verboten, und wenn Dexter sich eines nicht erlauben kann, dann erneut seinen Job zu verlieren.

When a series of bombs go off in a Therian youth center, injuring members of THIRDS Team Destructive Delta and causing a rift between agents Dexter J. Daley and Sloane Brodie, peace seems unattainable. Especially when a new and frightening group, the Order of Adrasteia, appears to always be a step ahead. With panic and intolerance spreading and streets becoming littered with the Order's propaganda, hostility between Humans and Therians grows daily. Dex and Sloane, along with the rest of the team, are determined to take down the Order and restore peace, not to mention settle a personal score. But the deeper the team investigates the bombings, the more they believe there's a more sinister motive than a desire to shed blood and spread chaos. Discovering the truth behind the Order's intent forces Sloane to confront secrets from a past he thought he'd left behind for good, a past that could not only destroy him and his career, but also that reputation of the organization that made him all he is today. Now more than ever, Dex and Sloane need each other, and, along with trust, the strength of their bond will mean the difference between justice and all-out war

When homicide detective Dexter J. Daley’s testimony helps send his partner away for murder, the consequences—and the media frenzy—aren’t far behind. He soon finds himself sans boyfriend, sans friends, and, after an unpleasant encounter in a parking garage after the trial, he’s lucky he doesn’t find himself sans teeth. Dex fears he’ll get transferred from the Human Police Force’s Sixth Precinct, or worse, get dismissed. Instead, his adoptive father—a sergeant at the Therian-Human Intelligence Recon Defense Squadron otherwise known as the THIRDS—pulls a few strings, and Dex gets recruited as a Defense Agent. Dex is determined to get his life back on track and eager to get started in his new job. But his first meeting with Team Leader Sloane Brodie, who also happens to be his new jaguar Therian partner, turns disastrous. When the team is called to investigate the murders of three HumaniTherian activists, it soon becomes clear to Dex that getting his partner and the rest of the tightknit team to accept him will be a lot harder than catching the killer—and every bit as dangerous.
