Just as Bryn has finally embraced her new role in her pack, a new threat rises to challenge the werewolves of Cedar Ridge. A broken and bleeding teenage werewolf named Lucas has found his way onto Bryn’s territory–a boy who belongs to the Snake Bend pack, whose alpha Shay is Bryn’s strongest opposition. Lucas wants Bryn to claim him for her pack, but in doing so she will have to invite Shay into her territory.

But other werewolves are not the only threat to Bryn–Shay has allied himself with a group of psychics who think werewolves are nothing more than monsters. Though Bryn’s personality is definitely the most dominant, her human strength cannot rival that of the werewolves. In order to protect her pack, she is going to have to become even more like an animal and less like a human.
