Tales of the Sazi
8 primary works
Book 1
HUNTERS MOON introduces us to Tony, our narrator and a hit man for the Mafia. A few months ago, one of Tony's jobs went very wrong-the mark spotted him, attacked him, and ripped out his throat. He should have died, but instead he woke up furry, and now, with every full moon, he changes into a wolf. Months later Tony has a bad feeling that the wolf-s nses are encroaching on his human life, and this is confirmed when he meets a new freelance client and feels an immediate attraction to her, something that never happened when he was fully human. But there's a bigger problem aside from the professional implications, and the fact that his wolf half wants him to mate with her: she wants to hire him to kill her. He manages to convince her to wait a year, to deal with her problems head on, but tries-and fails-to avoid becoming entangled with her. As he's drawn further into her life and her problems, the wolf inside of him clamors to be let out-and he realizes he's not the only one in the Midwest whose life is ruled by the moon...
Book 2
After the tumultuous events that took place in Hunters Moon, Tony Giodone - assassin for the Mafia turned werewolf - has found refuge in a community of Sazi shapeshifters, where he and his sexy human mate Sue Quentin now live under assumed identities. Everything seems to be going well, until Tony starts getting visions from other peoples' minds. Suddenly, he knows things about certain Sazi that he shouldn't. He doesn't know if they are hallucinations or actual past events, but something is definitely going on with his werewolf powers, and it's creeping him out. Now, between the world-wide meeting of Sazi leaders Tony's community must prepare for, the Mafia gearing up for a full-fledged war with a strange beast that is kidnapping female Sazi and killing them after it sucks out their powers, and Sue's feeling of suffocation in their relationship, Tony's got a lot on his plate. If he can't juggle it all-and figure out how to control his visions - Sazi will have to pay for his mistakes with their lives...

Tahira is a rival of the Sazi, a member of the Hayalet Kabile - the ghost tribe of shapeshifters who can become invisible at will. And, unknown to her, Tahira is also a fabled "power well", able to steal magical energy from other shapeshifters and store it inside herself. This makes her the prime target of the rogue shapeshifting snake, who needs Tahira to complete his plan to destroy the Sazi by channelling all of the magical abilities of Alpha shapeshifters.
