In the small town of Everburn, guarded by the mountains covered in frost and noble fir trees, the greatest werewolf legends were born.
Lisa Crawford, a sensible and quiet high school student, has grown up believing in those legends, just enough to protect her from wandering the woods alone.
When Noah Delgado, a withdrawn and secretive guy, moves to Everburn and a circle of mysterious occurrences begins to haunt the town, Lisa will find one thing to be true: the line between the legend and reality is tremendously thin.
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.
