A monster stalks the unwary on the foggy streets of San Francisco. A serial killer disguised as an ordinary, everyday, unremarkable man.
But he's not the only hunter in the city.
The Protector has returned to the city by the bay. She travels through the city in the form of an unremarkable woman, but she is far from unremarkable, and she is definitely not human.
She is vengeance. She is retribution. She is a being of power and fur and teeth.
And she will not rest until she takes revenge for the murder of her kin.
