"Love.
That word is used everyday, of every minute, of every year.
To many people it means different things, to young children it means icky and gross. To teenagers it means a war between your head and heart and to adults it just means emotional and physical attraction.
Not to me. "

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.
