For Kiari, "survival" is a synonym for "endurance." As the Lichen Pack's forgotten punching bag, survival has meant keeping her head down and her mouth shut, never fighting back.
She's learnt that hope is a dangerous luxury.
But when she overhears a plan to finally get rid of her, she realises that obedience will only end one way-with her death.
Driven to flee, Kiari crashes into a world that was always meant to be hers-a world of loyal family, fierce allies, and a mate whose bond calls to the very depths of her soul.
But the life she's found is a fragile dream, and the scars of her past are not just memories. They are a threat.
The monsters she escaped are coming, and this time, they're not just after her; they're after everyone she loves. For the first time in her life, Kiari is ready to fight back. After all, a wolf can only be beaten down for so long before she learns to bite.
The only question is: will the girl who was never allowed to fight become the woman who knows how to win?
