Imagine the second you're born, a consultant removes you from your mother's grasp and runs a battery of genetic and physiological tests on you. Thirty minutes later they give you a score out of one hundred which denotes your level of perfection. If your score is above eighty and you work hard to maintain that score you will have a charmed life; well fed, well-rewarded, spoiled. But fall below eighty and you're labelled Flawed, and life will not be so kind. Hannah is adopted by a Flawed family when her birth parents choose their social standing over their daughter and endures a life of struggle, hunger and service. One day Hannah is escorted to the regional government office and told that the Consultant who delivered her, who labelled her Flawed got it wrong!

Police officer Hendrik Holtzer somehow survives the night, but his wife and children do not, leaving him reeling with grief and the guardianship of three newly orphaned brothers. As the nation broils with tension over the discovery of its supernatural citizenry, Hendrik and the Kavanaugh boys - Calder, Lachlan and Grady - manage to find peace among the bonds of their shared loss. But nine years later, the truce between human and werewolf is threatened when bodies start popping up in a small town called Cedarbrook, in a mystery suspected to be the country's first werewolf serial killer. Sent to investigate, Hendrik must call upon the expertise of the boys he helped raise, setting into motion a series of revelations that will unveil the truth of what really happened on the night his family shattered into pieces. A family drama featuring reunion, heartbreak, joy and romance. Thank you for reading. :)
