During Linger Sam has to come to terms that he is now fully human. He did survive and they are reunited at the end of Shiver. Jack later dies and after Sam shifts halfway through the injection, Grace assumes that he has died too. When they both discover that by injecting meningitis into their system, and inducing a fever, shifting will be stopped, Sam and Jack volunteer to be injected. When the wolves are hunted, after the 'death' of Jack Culpeper, and he is shot, Grace finds him, naked, on her back porch and they start a relationship. After Grace is pulled off her tire swing and almost killed by the wolves, Sam saves her by shifting and carrying her home. Both his parents got life sentences for the attempted murder of their son. After his parents tried to kill him by holding him down in a bath and cutting both his wrists, he was adopted by Beck, age 8. Samuel Kerr 'Sam' Roth was bitten by Beck, who needed young blood to keep the wolf pack going, when he was only 7 as he waited for his school bus, before Shiver. She expresses the view that she has raised herself because her parents were barely ever home. She has dark blonde hair and brown eyes, described as a dark brown, almost black. She completed high school after the wolf hunt through summer school. She helps Sam lead the pack to the new peninsula, with help from Cole and Isabel.

And as the wolves are hunted by Isabel's father, she risks losing not only her friends but her life. Eventually, after a run-in with a sinkhole (that Shelby chased her into) Cole and Sam had to drag her out of before she drowned, she and Sam are reunited. In Forever, Grace tries to make her way back to Sam, but in her wolf form and with the ever present worry of shifting, it becomes hard. She is re-bitten by Cole and shifts at the end of Linger. However, in Linger it is not Sam's humanity that is in jeopardy but Grace's, as she comes down with an unknown illness and almost dies. In Shiver they meet after Sam is shot by Tom Culpeper during a hunt of the wolves following Jack Culpeper's 'death', and begin a strange yet touching relationship. When she is saved from them by a yellowed-eyed wolf, Sam, she begins to feel a deep connection with him, often referring to him as 'Her Wolf', and spending much of the winter months looking out for him. Grace Brisbane was taken from her backyard tire swing and attacked by the wolves behind her house when she was 11. The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy character
