The stakes are higher than ever. It's been months since the four managed to temporarily defeat and escape Laurel, Amber, Kali and the others but the four's problems are far from over. Forced to live with their guilt and still plagued by nightmares of what came before Rosa, Leila, Ash, Hunter and the others now have a new force to contend with: time. Because if the prophecy Eris, Hunter, Ash and Rosa shared years before is true then the introduction of the four's kids into the deadly game of life and death has started a ticking clock that's winding down the four's time left on the board. Limiting how long they have to finish what they - and their parents before them - started so their kids can have a life removed from the nightmares, pain and guilt that haunts the four. But Amber's desire for revenge will push not only Ash, Leila, Hunter, Rosa and the others further than they may be willing to go but she's not afraid to drag the four's kids into it. All the while ensuring that all who enter into this game may not come out alive. Can either the four of them who started in this game or their kids stop Amber and keep safe what the four built over the years and fought time and time again to protect and preserve? Or will Amber's manipulations and cruelty force the four off the board and ensure their kids take up the roles they leave behind? and if that's the case can their kids stop Amber and the others before all is lost? Or will they be too late and lose it all?

Alpha's daughter by title yet Omega by rank Leila Briar has had a difficult life. Alongside trying to heal from her family's murders she is the ridicule of the pack. The runt. But she is also looked down on because when the River Fern pack lost both their Alpha and Luna as well as their Alpha in training she was blamed and, as a result, made to live as the pack's slave. A far cry from the upbringing she should have had based on her position. In another realm after taking down the corrupt King and Queen of Aerilion as well as Laurel, the leader of a Coven hell-bent on re-writing the world as they believe it should be, Hunter and Rosalia are settling into their routines as leaders but Ash can't forget Rosa's words to him on the two's Crowning Ceremony: I know how to find your mate. Feeling lost and alone Ash knows he will do everything to help but when it is revealed who she is tensions rise and Ash tries to keep his distance from her, knowing what her reaction would be if she was to discover who he really was. But Leila can't stop dreaming of a black wolf with gold markings. A creature she hasn't seen yet feels an undeniable attraction to. Something she thought she'd never experience due to her status and being mistreated by those she called family. When she runs away from home and fate pulls the two together can they resolve their differences in time for Ash to save her from becoming enmeshed in a war not yet won? Or will darkness claim her as it has the others involved?

What did they mean? I knew who I was, didn't I? I was Rosalia Mallory, a girl left on the doorstep of our town's foster agency to find a new home. From there I went through three homes before at the age of 16 instead of having to live in the group home I secured enough money to, along with the money the foster carers were given for me, to buy an apartment building. Alongside a job bartending and waitressing I had enough money to attend college and am currently studying Religion and Mythology, Creative writing and Art. Just a normal teenage girl with a normal life. But at the same time, I'm not. Who am I? Seems like the most cliché question a teenager can ask right? Except when your missing months, if not years, of your life suddenly that seemingly simple question takes on a whole new meaning. After all, if you don't know your whole past how can you answer that for yourself?
