Being the daughter of an Alpha is tough--Toni Beaumont knows that better than anyone. From her very first breath she's been engaged to the heir of a rival pack, William Bellerose. William is annoying, sexist, and he doesn't like the engagement either--so when Toni is sent to live in his court, she isn't happy. That is, of course, until she meets the mysterious prisoner, Carmen Durant. As Toni gets closer to Carmen, she finds herself torn between her duty and a new found friendship--a friendship that crosses the borders between loyalty and love. With danger and enemies at every corner, Toni will have to choose between what is right and everything she's ever known.
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.
