Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs (2017) Ace
Mercy, a descendent of Coyote, a
shapeshifter and wife of the Adam Hauptman, a werewolf and alpha of the
Columbia Basin pack, is intentionally hit by a semi and kidnapped by the Lord
of the Night, the master vampire of Milan, Italy. This launches a panic search for Mercy by the
pack. When she comes-to in Italy, she
escapes, is chased by a local werewolf who is in thrall to the vampire. Mercy leads her into the path of a bus. Riding in the luggage compartment of a bus,
she makes her way to Prague. There, she
runs into the golem made by rabbi Loeb.
She asks for protection from the local wolfpack. One of her ‘talents’ is being able to see
ghosts and communicate with them. She
can also command them. The golem is
dead. While under the protection of the
second and third wolves in the Prague pack, she wanders into a second seethe of
vampires and too late, realizes there are wards that prevent the wolves from
seeing the building. To them, she just
disappeared. She is captured and placed
into a magical cage that she cannot get out of in a basement that is filled
with ghosts. The golem appears and gets
her help to consume all but one of the ghosts.
This gives him the power break down the wards protecting the
building. It’s even more complicated
than that. In the end, of course, she is
rescued.
