Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, Book 1)

THE FIRST NOVEL IN THE MERCY THOMPSON SERIES!
Moon Called marks the debut of Patricia Briggs’s captivating character, Mercy Thompson, and sets the stage for a bestselling series that has captured the hearts of readers everywhere.

Mercy Thompson, a skilled shapeshifter, has a unique background; although she was raised among werewolves, she never truly fits into their world, particularly because her past involvement in a forbidden romance led the pack to expel her. Choosing to channel her passion for fixing cars, Mercy now operates a one-woman mechanic shop in Washington State’s Tri-Cities area.

However, her carefully maintained life begins to unravel when the worlds she inhabits unexpectedly collide. A desperate, half-starved teenage boy appears at her shop seeking employment. He soon reveals that he has recently transformed into a werewolf—an unsettling change that has left him struggling to master his primal urges. Concerned for his safety and well-being, Mercy reaches out to her neighbor, Adam Hauptman, who happens to be the Alpha of the local werewolf pack, hoping he can help the troubled youth.

Mercy’s decision to extend her hand to the boy sets off a chain reaction of unforeseen consequences. She finds herself reluctantly drawn back into the werewolf community that once cast her aside, facing the very pack that betrayed her. What begins as a simple act of kindness spirals into a situation that forces her to confront her past and the relationships she thought were left behind.

“In a realm filled with formidable supernatural heroines, Mercy Thompson distinguishes herself as one of the finest,” says Locus, praising her character's depth and resilience. As Mercy navigates the complexities of her intertwined existence with both humans and werewolves, she confronts not only external dangers but also her own struggles with identity and acceptance.

This first installment in the series not only lays the groundwork for Mercy’s journey but also introduces readers to a richly woven world brimming with captivating characters, exhilarating conflicts, and the intricate dynamics of love and loyalty. As Mercy learns to embrace her unique abilities while grappling with her place in a world that often misunderstands her, readers will be drawn into her compelling narrative.

Moon Called is a thrilling introduction to a universe where the lines between human and supernatural blur, and where each character enriches the tapestry of the story. With its combination of action, emotion, and intricate relationships, it invites readers to accompany Mercy as she seeks to understand her true nature amid the chaos of her life.

Embark on this captivating journey with Mercy Thompson, a character that promises to resonate deeply with any fan of urban fantasy, and prepare to be swept away in a story that balances supernatural excitement with heartfelt exploration of self and belonging.
