Descripción editorial
USA Today bestselling author Cathy Clamp reboots the Sazi shapeshifter universe in Forbidden, a tightly-paced, high-tension urban fantasy thriller.
Ten years have passed since the war that destroyed the Sazi Council and inflicted a horrible "cure" on thousands of Sazi, robbing them of their ability to shapeshift.
Luna Lake, isolated in Washington State, started as a refugee camp for Sazi orphans. Now it's a small town and those refugees are young adults, chafing at the limits set by their still-fearful guardians.
There's reason to fear: Sazi children are being kidnapped. Claire, a red wolf shifter, is sent to investigate. Held prisoner by the Snakes during childhood, Claire is distrusted by those who call Luna Lake home.
Before the war, Alek was part of a wolf pack in Chicago. In Luna Lake he was adopted by a parliament of Owls, defying Sazi tradition. The kidnappings are a painful reminder that his little sister disappeared a decade ago.
When Claire and Alek meet, sparks fly—but the desperate race to find the missing children forces them to set aside their mutual attraction and focus on the future of their people.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Clamp returns to the world of the Sazi with this faltering ninth installment, her first without longtime coauthor C.T. Adams. In 2010's Serpent Moon, a combination of war and plague devastated Earth's various shape-shifting races and forced them to rethink their concept of community. Ten years later, wolven agent Claire Evans goes undercover in the tiny U.S. town of Luna Lake to investigate odd goings-on and missing children. Soon she learns firsthand just how despotic the local leaders can be. Her unlikely ally is Alek Siska, a wolf who accidentally lands her in trouble on her first day; forced to work together to appease the tyrannical powers that be, they're drawn further into the mysteries of Luna Lake. Naturally, they discover a strong mutual attraction, but they have little time to properly explore it, as long as danger hides in the shadows. While the characters have adequate chemistry, the romance isn't entirely convincing, and the conclusion of the story is chaotic and muddled, with the resolution coming as something of an anticlimax. Series fans will hold out hope for Clamp to discover her solo voice and continue building this intriguing world.
