The story of Shakira Black. The transformation of Levinta to anew: Venture into the life of The Mistress of the Stars; her beginnings and the mysteries of her existence.

Faelyn's eyes were overflowing with tears. Members of her Pack tumbled past her, shouting and coughing, trying to escape the flames and their enemies. She heard her name, her mother's name, Daemon's name being screamed, her people pleading for guidance. They were all a blur. The flames that were nearly engulfing her and her mother were just twinkles in the corners of her vision. Her glacial eyes were trained on Ezra, her mother. The woman who had birthed her, raised her, protected her-and prepared her. "Run, my sweet girl. I will always be with you."

As a child, Sabine always knew something was up with her father. It wasn't until she witnessed her mother's murder--by her father's hand--that she found out just what that "something" was. Now, ten years later, she is hunted as a "Rogue Experiment" by her father's men. She has taken on the name Winter and plans to pay back every ounce of pain her father has ever caused her by taking down what he had been working so hard on for years before she was even born--Ansilax. Ansilax is a chemical injected into humans to make them better, faster, stronger, more intelligent--deadly. Winter's mission is to take down the company her father started and destroy all traces of Ansilax--even if it means destroying herself with it.

If it weren't for fear, I wouldn't be here today.
