The lives of the supernatural in a mortal world are not easy to live by, but everyone must have their place.
Immortals: The eldest of them are known as the Eternals. They set the law for any and all creatures of myth. They’re proud, cunning and though they have no ability other than the one for eternal life, they believe themselves to be the most powerful species.
Darcia is one such Immortal, though she hardly has the same morals. She continues to be confused on what to believe and how to act, and the death of her parents forces her to hide more within herself leaving nothing to be viewed by others but her hard shield. She craves for a different life, though it seems she's stuck with hers for the rest of eternity.
Werewolves: Though proud creatures themselves, they have little interest in matters that don’t concern their kind. Though they abide by the rules of the Eternals to keep peace between species, they have their own rulings and ways of doing things within their packs.
Shanks is a Beta to his Alpha brother. From a young age, hardship and responsibility for the lives of others was thrust upon him and he had no other choice than to fulfil his role. But the sheer pressure and ways of survival taught him to be cold and calculating though the harsh dealings and greed for strength within packs does little to interest him. He simply craves a different way of living.
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.
