When Keira Menon decided to move to a small town tucked in between valleys and flanked by endless woodland, the last thing she expected was to find in that otherwise uneventful little town's folklore, a truth that the rest of the world was rather blissfully oblivious to.
They called it a myth, old folklore, but the yellow orbs - waiting and watching - from the edge of the woods will show her an unseen world she can never return from.
One woman desperately trying to hold her crumbling world together, a myth which seems anything but that and a pair of yellow eyes will tell a tale of destiny, soulmate, and courage.
Secret revelations, white lies, and forbidden rendezvous.
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.
