A year ago, just after Audrey moved to the small town of Bleakwood, she was attacked. She was hospitalised for a month, and still bears those scars today. But the police dropped the case when no leads came up, and life moved on for everyone else. Now, she is determined to draw out the creature that she knows is lurking in the woods - no matter the cost.
One of those creatures is Rowan. Tall, handsome and deadly, Rowan is the Alpha of his pack - a pack that is on the verge of a war. Determined to keep the peace and to obey the Code of the Veil, the laws that bind them all, Rowan must keep the tensions in the forests surrounding Bleakwood from boiling over. But his heart is torn: he owes Audrey more than he can give her, and more than she knows.
Audrey doesn't know the forces she's dealing with.
Is she the hunter, or the prey?
