What do you do when the people you love the most are gone? Simple, conquer. Three months after the UWWPA meeting that left her friend dead and mate in a coma Thalia Redgranite has turned to her work to cope. Lies unravel, truths unfold, and the past is dug up. Vermilion Summit's Alpha is home and ready to lead her pack to power --- The Island protects it's own, and she is the heart of the island. Forget making a deal with the devil, that's cliché. A deal sealed in sea water always gets its due. Sequel to Beyond the Mist.

Thalia is Alpha of the powerful Vermilion Summit pack and part of an ancient alpha blood line which she intends to honor by leading her pack to glory. Nash is a rouge werewolf but unlike most rogues he's made a living out of it as a mercenary. Both have dark secrets and are set on goals that could tear them apart, but when their paths collide could they be each others light at the end of the tunnel...or death sentence?
