'Aleria Anne Bluesrone was nothing more than a dead, injured alpha, mate-less, orphaned, nothing more than a freak, an abomination.' At least that was what the Greyclads had said. Aleria had gone missing and was presumed dead, her pack in a mess. What everyone did not know, however, was that Aleria was in fact very much alive.
Waking up in a new environment, Aleria has a large gap in her memory, but after investigating a not-so accidental fire which had wiped out the humans who had taken her in, she remembers and knows that with her away from the pack, the Greyclads, their rival pack, will take every opportunity to decimate them. As the alpha, she has to defend her pack but first, she needs to get rid of the demons in her past. Only then will she be able to reclaim her rightful position.
While unearthing her painful past, Aleria unburies parts of it that had been kept secret, her supposedly dead mate among them. Will she be able to recover from this emotional wreck or will she fall so far down the dark pit of her past that she cannot get up again?
"I... ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ I'ᴍ sᴜᴘᴘᴏsᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ғᴇᴇʟ ᴛʜɪs ɴᴜᴍʙ."
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.
