Dante's claim to the throne was weak, but it is strong enough to keep him on the seat. He tried his best to be what he needs to be to run a kingdom; a king, and within two years things started to be aligned again. Despite his own judgement, he is becoming a king that he aspire to be.
But even with his progress, his past is still clinging unto him. He was once a man who never prays, but now he begs for redemption. Virgil, a priest he grew fond of, guides him through many questions he found himself asking. And when he met his mate, he made it his mission to redeem himself through her, through Beatrice.
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.
