Hatred and fear.
Their screaming echoing in my ears... Blood dripping from their lifeless bodies...
His bloodied hands that held our lives, giving him power to play with our fates.
Run...I have...
I have to keep running...
No... No!
I can't feel. I can't...
Bad... Painful... Hurts too much..
Who are you?
Friend or foe? Innocent or guilty? Truth or lies?
Why?
------------------
Until her tenth birthday, little Amelia Avian led a joyous life with her small but mighty pack in a peaceful forest. Along with her twin brother, Nathaniel Avian, she thought that her life was perfect and it was.
Until He appeared.
Amelia,now separated and forced to witness the demise of the people she knew and love, runs from the place she used to affectionately call home. Trapped within her scarred mind, she keeps on running, knowing full well that the devil from her pack's history is hunting her down.
A twisted story of a girl who is convinced that emotions and feelings are good for nothing and tries to keep it out of the equations without unveiling her mask. But even when facing darkness, light still exists somewhere.
Until she finds it, mercy is not an option...
Not even when handling herself.
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.
