There's a myth that has been passed down for generations. No one knew whether it was actually true; after all, stories to tend to change as they are retold.
The myth goes like this: there is a beast who roams the woods at night. A big, black monster with blood-red eyes and huge teeth. It destroys everything in its path- werewolves and humans alike- and at the crack of dawn, the beast returns to its human state.
He is rumored to be an Alpha, but nobody knows who the beast really is. No one wanted to know either. After all, ignorance is bliss.

Amelia Storm has been through enough hardships to last her a lifetime. Being the daughter of an Alpha, people thought that she was spoilt and lived a carefree life. However, Amelia has a secret; one that she's determined to take with her to the grave. A fateful day two years ago changed her life forever. Now, having found her mate on her 18th birthday, Amelia must learn to navigate a new life by her mate's side; only, he doesn't want her.
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.
