In an attempt to escape an abusive ex-boyfriend, Victoria Young moves to the small town of Mennenga, Texas. She leaves behind her friends, family, and everything she has ever known. She is taken in by an old friend of her fathers, Denali, who promises to help her get back on her feet.
One night, Victoria decides to use peyote to try and relieve the pain from her past relationship and finds herself surrounded by wolves.
As she tries to forget about her strange hallucinations, strange things begin to happen; and she finds herself being followed.
With the fear of her ex in town and strange dreams taking over her mind, Victoria fears she will never be able to escape.
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.
