From publisher blurb: Dangerous things lurk in the night, but few of them are as deadly as the garou of the Silent Striders. Tracing their lineage to the ancient empire of Egypt, they are known as the messengers of the nation, but they are so much more than that. Banished from their homeland by an ancient curse, and cut off from their ancestors, the Silent Striders wander the world, searching for ways they can once again return home. The tribe’s kinfolk share this same wanderlust, along with Owl’s quiet danger. Though many of them mind hostels and hotels, bars and restaurants, others embrace professions that keep them untethered from permanent communities and homes. While they may be seen as taciturn lone wolves by outsiders, when the tribe howls, its kin come from seemingly nowhere to provide much-needed aid. And when the task is done, they vanish back into the wind once more.
