Since then, Erin Teague's pack has labelled him a 'heretic.' He has kept his head down to survive, protected by his stepmother, Theresa. But no secret can stay buried forever. After a diplomatic mission goes wrong, Erin finds himself facing the ire of Valerie Lessard, the zealous Alpha of a neighbouring pack. Valerie is determined to have Erin sacrificed according to the words of the Unath Imom-the holy book of their kind-which weaves a narrative as disorienting as the forest itself.

Something is horribly wrong with its verses, and Erin is determined to translate it, no matter how many laws he must break. As the threat of Lessard Pack looms large, Erin flees with his work to the isolated Norwood Pack. There, he comes under the protection of Alpha Marius Gray: a rebellious leader willing to bend the words of the Unath Imom to serve his own purposes.

[BOOK 1] After a war over a century ago, there have been several laws set in place to restrain the rights of individuals with special abilities-most commonly referred to as abnormals. The Nocona family came to power during the worldwide conflict, resulting in Marley Nocona becoming the eventual heir to a throne that will rule an entire half of the planet. However, after an incident that reveals him to be a member of the abnormal race, he is sent to 1-A IAP, where he is to be studied until a cure is found. This is the plan, until of course he meets a man named Nero Accardi. Said man happens to hate his entire family with a burning passion-not exactly uncommon amongst the residents in the institution. Marley, now forced to deal with a moody roommate and an extremely inconvenient abnormality, feels as though the world is just generally out to get him. His life is only complicated further when it becomes apparent that not only is Nero his only way out of the place, but he also has a tendency to make Marley question everything he's ever known. Marley is positive of one thing, though, and that is the fact that he needs to do anything possible to ensure his kingship- It's the only way to finally correct the world that his predecessors have wronged so cruelly.

The abuse is not explicitly graphic or anything, but it still has an impact on the story.] ❦ AN: I promise you this book is not as dark as the warnings are ok. give me a chance or don't I'm not your dad
