Girl meets girl... But who's hunting who?

Freddie’s life is pleasantly uneventful: working a steady job at a local café, meeting up with her friends for karaoke night, and nursing a long string of crushes that never quite turn into anything more. But Freddie's world is turned upside-down when she meets Silver: A mysterious, beautiful new co-worker whose unbridled passion for latte art and gorgeous smile draw Freddie right in... And the feeling seems to be mutual!

The only problem? On their very first date, Freddie suddenly transforms into a werewolf! As Freddie desperately struggles to hide her secret, a mysterious huntress begins closing in on her—one whose smile bears an unsettling resemblance to her new crush! Because Silver is hiding something too: she’s the descendant of a long line of lycanthrope hunters, born and bred to destroy exactly what Freddie has become. Drama!

The Price of Silver is a cozy, high-energy sapphic romance about navigating big feelings, learning to become something more than enemies, and choosing new love over old fears.
