There's nothing much more life-changing than a bullet to the neck...

While he contemplates death and the consequences his will bring for his family, Bashir is offered a chance at a new life by the Swedish police officer who finds him in a dark alley of Gothenburg's infamous north-eastern suburb. Bashir's new life comes with the surprise that nothing is as he previously believed: magical creatures exist, and preying on the weak are forces far more sinister than the drug dealers he'd contended with before.

But if becoming a part of Sweden's hidden underworld of shifters weren't enough, Bashir's discoveries are upended when he meets Milena: the last Vasa.
