Where there is power, there is corruption. In the city of Halogaist, it comes in the form of a weak willed Council, degenerate city guards, and the League of Huntsmen. Once, the Huntsmen kept the city safe from the creatures of Wullferg Forest. Now, for people like Emily, wrongfully accused and imprisoned, the forest is their only hope. Emily runs from the Huntsmen and right into a pack of werewolves--creatures she thought were only legends.
Even here she can't escape the effects of corruption. Instead of leading to crooked guards and pompous council members, it leads to sadism, terror, and bloodshed.
As if learning how to behave in an entirely new culture and coping with the grief of lost love isn't enough, Emily finds herself caught in a game of lies and deceit--and no one will tell her the rules. What's worse is the other game she's made to play. She thought she knew the rules, she was engaged after all. But romance is different when you're dealing with werewolves. Especially anti-social, grim faced Alphas, or over enthusiastic redheads who are so nice and so oblivious, or brutes who only have one thing on their mind. There's no escape from any of this, nowhere left to run to.
Only, Emily doesn't want to run this time. She lost her home once, and will do anything to keep it from happening again. If her newfound friends can't protect themselves, she'll do it for them. And if staying means putting up with advances from mate-crazy werewolves and playing nice with the Alpha, so be it.
Emily soon learns that it's not just the weak who need help, but sometimes the strong as well--including the Alpha. But often, when you help someone, you end up drawing close to them, no matter what your original intentions were. And soon she's too close to pull away, even if she wanted to.
Emily may be weaker and lacking claws, but she has been told than an iron poker to the throat can do a lot of damage--enough to kill a werewolf.

Suddenly, I feel a hand that intertwines mine. The touch is warm but still not enough to comfort me after the news I've just got. I feel someone is leading me out of the office. Nothing is really clear to me. I barely see my parents, Julie and Eli's face as the hand keeps on pulling me away from them.
No more links with Elijah. I don't know if I closed my mind or if he did. But I can't feel him anymore. My feet follow the lead. I raise my head and I see that the Prince is calmly leading me to the stairs. Before we start to climb the stairs, I feel a hand on my lower back while the other is still intertwined with mine. The Prince looks at me and no emotions can be read on his face.
Does he have a heart? Can lycan love as gently as wolves? A wolf would be difficult to live with as a human. How is it going to work with a lycan? Is it even possible? I've never heard of such a thing. What has Moon Goddess done?
