She would do anything to escape--until she discovers the people of Wolfville have been hiding secrets in plain sight. The first secret? There are werewolves in Wolfville. The second? Somebody wants to kill them all. And now those secrets are Timmory's too after she's rescued from death by the Wolfville pack. Forced to adjust to a new life as a werewolf, she finds the solution to her wanderlust by seeking the rogue werewolf that changed her and the frightening hunters that want to exterminate her kind. Between a pack eager to call her family, a best friend that drags her out to every party, and a boy in her class who gets too close too quickly, Timmory struggles to make sense of her new life as a werewolf while avoiding certain death at the hands--and jaws--of those that hunt her. In order to solve the riddles of Wolfville, she must start by accepting one ever-important fact: Wolfville is not run by students. It's run by wolves.
