Complete story — includes the ending

While investigating an assassination attempt against nightclub owner Frankie Adkins, who was saved by a mysterious Wesen, Nick and Hank stumble onto the archaic Wesen tradition of Maagd Zoektocht, by which a Weten Ogen (a lynx-like Wesen) pits three suitors against each other for the hand of a maiden. In the closing scene, a badly injured Trubel shows up at the door of Nick's new home and collapses in his arms. Opening quote: "After three days and nights, whoever tries and does not succeed shall be put to death."
