Sixteen-year-old Mara Westray has just lost her mother, and now, being shipped off to live with the father she doesn’t know is not how she imagined grieving. She’s already counting down the days until she turns eighteen and can leave the tiny island of Swans Landing. But from the moment she steps off the ferry, nothing is as ordinary as it looks. Whispers of a haunting song on the wind make her see impossible things, and she isn’t sure she can trust her judgment about what is real and what isn’t anymore. Maybe she can’t even trust her judgment about quiet Josh Canavan, whose way of speaking in riddles and half-truths only confuses her more, luring her deeper into the secrets hidden beneath the ocean’s surface. As she tries to unravel the events that led to her mom fleeing the island sixteen years ago, Mara finds that the biggest secret of all is only the beginning.

"Yes, I know exactly who you are," I began coldly. "You're Avianna Fey. Little miss megastar who goes walking round in her 5 inch heels, looking down at anyone who can't afford the latest pair of jimmy choo's. You think you're so great, when really you're just a spoilt little brat." She straightened up and moved in closer. Her hands softly stroked the sides of my face, making my whole body tense up. "Don't act like you know me, because you don't. You know absolutely fuck all about my life," she spat.

Tyler has been kept in the dark. She knows virtually nothing about werewolves and she rarely ever gets to shift. Then, men break into her house, slaughter her parents, and bring her to a house where she is locked in the basement and tortured for being a werewolf. At first, they wanted information, but then they just wanted fun. Three years later, she is rescued and everything she never knew about her species is dumped onto her. If she wants to be accepted into the pack that rescued her, she has to prove her worth. There's also a certain Alpha's son who seems to know a lot more about their confusing relationship than she does, and he doesn't seem like he's going to share anytime soon. And despite her new life, Tyler knows that the leader of the hunters escaped the night she was rescued. She also knows that he wants her dead. And he won't stop until he gets what he wants.
