Perhaps the best of these is the previously published “Alpha and Omega” which follows Bran’s son Charles to Chicago during the events of Moon Called, where he meets his new mate, the Omega wolf Anna. Each work is introduced and contextualized by the author, along with a note about where it fits in the series timeline. The collection consists of four new stories, and six previously published works, along with two bonus scenes, outtakes from drafts of Silver Borne and Night Broken. Rather, many of the stories feature secondary or other minor characters from the series, allowing them to briefly take centre stage. “Humans, in her experience, were weak and fragile things prone to dying and breeding with about the same frequency.”Īs the subtitle of this short story collection might imply, Patricia Briggs’ popular protagonist, Mercy Thompson, does not feature at all in many of the stories in Shifting Shadows, or appears only in passing, or by mention.
