HOLLOW CITY PACK
Mara Voss has the city’s strangest job description and a secret she’s been managing for six years: she is Hollow City’s supernatural animal control department — all of it — and she is an unregistered wolf shifter who hasn’t shifted since an incident in Oregon that she has spent six years not thinking about.
She handles the magical fauna that fall through the cracks between the human city and the supernatural community: displaced brownie colonies, cursed familiars, territorial selkies. She is very good at this. She is also very good at wearing amber-tinted contacts around the supernatural community and never drawing the attention of the three rival wolf packs that run the city’s supernatural governance.
Then someone starts attacking registered wolves across all three packs, and the evidence keeps pointing at the same unregistered wolf the victims all complained about three years ago.
The wolf they’re describing is her. The attacks weren’t her. The judgment proceeding is in seven days.
Declan Firth — the Firth Pack’s dominant and the city’s supernatural liaison — has been professionally avoiding her for exactly as long as she has been professionally avoiding him. He is also running the same investigation, reaching the same conclusions, and has decided that the evidence has been arranged rather than discovered.
She can access spaces the packs can’t without triggering territorial incidents. He has the access logs, the political context, and three years of watching her work. Neither of them has agreed to work together. Both of them are working together.
WHY THIS WILL SELL
→ Fantasy > Paranormal & Urban > Paranormal Fantasy is the #1 most frequent category in the June 2026 Fantasy Top 100 — 6 appearances across the list; proven market with Amanda M. Lee’s Breaking the Mold performing at $5.99 for 202 daily sales, providing a direct indie pricing and positioning benchmark
→ Triple-category stack across Paranormal Fantasy (primary), Urban Fantasy (secondary), and Romance > Paranormal > Werewolves & Shifters (tertiary) — three distinct discovery paths covering both the fantasy-first and romance-first reader; The Wolf King (Lauren Palphreyman) at avg rank 152 with 444 daily sales confirms the shifter category’s commercial strength
→ Underserved trope combination — competent female protagonist who is good at her job before the romance starts, pack politics with genuine moral complexity (the villain is right about the underlying problem and wrong about the method), and a slow burn that resolves in HEA in Book 1 within a series structure designed for long-term readthrough
→ The hidden-identity reveal is the Act 2 engine — she has been hiding what she is for six years; her first shift in six years (she does not lose control) reframes everything she understood about the incident that started the hiding; this is the kind of structural reveal that produces word-of-mouth
→ Series framework built for interconnected standalones — Book 1 delivers HEA; Book 2 delivers Brigid’s romance arc and new mystery; Book 3 introduces a new Iron Pack protagonist; the Hollow City world grows without requiring commitment to a cliffhanger structure
