In a sea full of clownfish I am the only shark swimming; that's how I describe myself living with the supernaturals. I am the elephant in the room.
I have been living as the alpha's adopted daughter for years, watching everyone in the pack shift and do patrols, protecting their families, mates, children, and women in every battle. I was not allowed to stray too far from the sidewalk (pun intended), get close to any stranger, roam the forest alone, or interact with another alpha besides my father.
I am the beloved daughter of Alpha Ruke "Ruins" Horeclaw of the Horeclaw Pack.
The infamous Jaime Horeclaw, the human daughter.
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
