Gavriel Sévère lost everything in one devastating blow: his position as coroner for a murder he didn't commit, and the use of his legs for one he did. When his wife Olivia vanishes without a word, leaving him to face the consequences alone, he believes he's lost her too.
Now she's back, a shadow of her former self, haunted and nearly mute.
While she was gone, hundreds of letters with desperate pleas for help arrived at their private detective agency. Missing children. Runaways. Cases the police won't touch. Behind these disappearances, Olivia sees a pattern too horrifying to ignore. She finally breaks her silence and agrees to take the case.
Their investigation reveals a child trafficking ring hiding behind charitable facades, protected by the wealthy and influential. Now Sévère must choose between the law he once served and the justice it fails to deliver. How far is he willing to go to save the innocent? And what remains of the soul when crossing the line from justice into vengeance?
But Olivia already knows the answer: the only way to fight monsters is to become one.
Peregrine is a gripping tale of vigilante justice, where a mere whisper separates the hunter and the hunted, and redemption comes at a steep price.
