Holly Freeman was ripped from the life she'd once known. When she fled from the ambush that saw her home of and pack of Half-Moon destroyed, Holly could never have known the life she was running toward. Now mated to the tenaciously ambitious Shadow Alpha, River Matthews, she herself is Shadow Luna-Holly is beginning to rebuild. But when she unexpectedly falls pregnant, it provokes an entirely new sense of urgency in confronting The Strikers and Alpha Xander. But the woods of Northern California have fallen quiet in the months since The Shadows' victory, and both River and Holly know it can't stay that way for long.
