Alone, broken, constantly torn to shreds. Lily is a wolf who is treated like trash by her so called 'pack mates'. Her one and only friend has been away at college and is coming home, bringing some of another pack with him. They told her she didn't have a mate, that no wolf could be unlucky enough to be paired with her, but what they don't know is that she does have a mate, and he won't be happy with the way they treat(ed) her. He has come to find her, after living so long alone. He will do anything for her, and anything may just be what she needs. He is her hope, she is his light, but her current alpha doesn't want to let her go. See what happens when a bratty little boy of an 'alpha' challenges the most deadly, ruthless pack for one girl, who isn't even his mate.
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.
