"A wolf like you shouldn't be here."
"And you should?"

Around the world are the rumors of Bishop Brooks, the loner who would never lay belly up without extreme circumstances.
Named after Bishop Briggs, the singer her parents worshipped. And she fits her songs perfectly.
Wild Horses, she is the Wild Horses being cheered and chased.
River, she is the River flowing angrily.
The Fire, she is The Fire letting her friends and run to her and burn themselves on her.
The Dark Side, she if the Dark Side alluring others to the side she resides on.
But meeting her mate will only slowly kill her, as her bond with the forest grows weaker and the bond with her mate grows strong.
Yet her longing to run wildly just isn't her, but her mate by her side as she dodges the trees and ducks the branches, along with her mate.
Will her desire to run freely disintegrate or will it only be strong with the other running wildly at her side?
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.
