A year after her mother's murder, Kara White follows a dead woman's last warning north to Moore Town, Vermont - and walks straight into a town bleeding out. Teenagers are vanishing. Bodies are turning up marked by something old and hungry. And everyone looks at Kara like she is either the answer or the cause. Then there is Nathan Wolfe - Alpha of Moore Town's wolf pack, and the one thing standing between Kara and a clean exit. He has already decided she is his mate. She has already decided that is his problem. She has seen what that kind of bond costs a woman, and she will not pay that price. But the darkness closing in on Moore Town has its own timeline - and it is tied to Kara's bloodline in ways she is only beginning to understand.

Werewolves have taken our world. The "Silver War" which happened 50 years ago gave them the victory and power over us. We didn't match their strength and ability and soon the war ended killing us and making humans extinct. The rest of us who survived the war, were forced under the wolves law. They have been slaving us and kidnapping humans to mate. Their brutality has left females scarces. And I am one of the few females who survived in this brutal world.
