Eighteen-year-old Ella Wood had her future planned. Finish her first year of university. Stay close to her mother. Build a normal life. Then one night in the woods changes everything. After surviving a savage wolf attack, Ella begins experiencing impossible symptoms. Her injuries heal too quickly. Her senses sharpen beyond human limits. And every day she feels herself becoming something she doesn't understand. Something she was never supposed to survive. When mysterious hunters arrive claiming to be police, Ella's life is torn apart. Forced to flee with Damian Blackwood-a dangerously handsome stranger who seems to know far more about her condition than he's willing to admit-Ella is thrust into a hidden world of wolves, ancient secrets, and deadly enemies. As hunters close in from every direction, Ella discovers the truth: she isn't becoming a werewolf. She's becoming a Rougarou. A rare and unstable creature feared by both humans and wolves alike. Now, with time running out and her transformation spiralling beyond her control, Ella must decide who she wants to become before the hunters find her first. Because surviving the bite was only the beginning. And some destinies can't be outrun.
