Xander D'Angelo is bound to an unchanging fate.
To be the beast who starts wars and ends nations, to take down entire armies alone with just his claws and razor-sharp teeth, as he was created by the Moon Goddess to do.
In a time of war, when killed wolves and the ground was always stained with the blood of innocents, the Moon Goddess couldn't stand it any longer so she took action. Molding twelve wolves from clay, their frame stood on their hind legs, their claws and teeth were sharp like knives, they had superior strength, agility, and speed, unlike any werewolf. The Moon Goddess created these beings to stop the battles that raged and spread like wildfire, she infused a touch of her immortality to these beings ensuring they would survive to complete her task and she called them Lycans.
For peace, there must be chaos.
Xander was bound to fight to keep the peace in the werewolf world and for centuries he fought and soon no doubt he became known as a cold-hearted beast who earned the title as the ruthless Alpha King. He was known for slaughtering anyone who broke one of his rules or disrespected him, for he was the most powerful creature to walk the earth. Until he meets her.
Gabriela Caly LeClare is a survivor. After her parents were suddenly taken from her at sixteen she was forced to take her sisters and run as the shadow of that horrific night continued to haunt her. She has lived every day since looking over her shoulder, always in constant worry and fear of the unknown, of what is out there. Until she meets him.
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.
