A mate was something every Lycanthrope dreamt of having--other than Violet McKenna. Ever since her childhood best friend betrayed her, allowing her parents to send her to the Emberglade Institute for the Disobedient, she was done putting her trust and faith in others. There was just one problem. In this world, Alphas didn't have daughters. Daughters didn't run packs. Daughters were breeders, not readers. But as the daughter of the Alpha and Luna of the Pack of Strength, Violet refused to sit still and look pretty, desiring only to lead alongside her twin, Vincent. But she must put her dreams aside when her mother forced her to attend the Galae Nomen de Luna--an annual masquerade and the night every Lycanthrope above age seventeen in the Northern Hemisphere found their mate. And it just so happened to be Violet's eighteenth birthday. Meanwhile, upon Violet's return eleven years later, trouble was bubbling in the Northern packs, precious memories were stolen, arranged engagements arose, and the legend of the Lupus Nocte threatened to haunt again.

'Whatever it was, I would face it. Whatever it was, I would win. Something bigger than me had made me a Luna, a figure capable of leadership, of true power. Something had made me his mate, and that didn't count for nothing. It couldn't.' Seventeen-year old Thea Matthews knows nothing beyond the borders of her ordinary, small-town life. With a supportive family and a wonderful best friend, her world is a technicolor dream of hope and happiness. And then disaster strikes, and everything collapses before her very eyes. Forced to pursue a new life in America with her erratic Uncle, Thea notices the impossible--she is suddenly, inexplicably, marked. She has the Sight--a gift that allows her to see into the inner-workings of a world sheathed in shadows, where clawed beasts roam and nightmares run free. With an aggravatingly handsome werewolf on her tail, and the emergence of a darker threat looming over her, can Thea learn to navigate a world of secrets and betrayal?

A clean slate. People pray for one on occasion, some desperate individuals go to drastic measures to achieve one. I wasn't given the choice. I woke up in a foreign country alone, afraid and with no idea who I am. I was lucky. The reigning monarch of Cynthera and his family took me in, nursed me back to health. There's one problem, the Crown Prince, Emory Bryn. He's not what one would expect and the last thing I should be getting involved with. He has priorities too, his own restrictions. I'm off limits. No exceptions, no alternatives. Trying to discover my identity and navigate my new life is exhausting enough without adding a torrid love affair into the mix. He's a Prince and I, well; I'm a conflict of interest. Fighting our nature, choosing our duties over our desires and things turn hostile in a hurry. When memories of my previous life start to reveal themselves I'm torn between two worlds. The one I've created and come to love and the one filled with questions and hints of something terrifying. How do I keep my new family and return to the family of my birth? There's something dark buried deep in my mind, something I don't know if I can face. A darkness that threatens both my lives. Now I have a choice and it's one I never wanted to make. ISBN #: 978-1537187587
