For the past year, eighteen-year old spare heir and werewolf Michael has lived in the shadow of loss. Unable to shake the guilt of not saving his older brother, grief haunts him like a second shadow, and to make things worse, a recurring dream of a mysterious girl won't let him go.
When that dream leads him to the once forbidden Woodlands, Michael makes a chilling discovery: a living Fae. Not only should her presence be impossible, as her people no longer inhabited this world, her existence is dangerous. For her. For him. For his mother, whose role in helping the Fae escape the almost war a year ago would be seen as treason by his pack and his father, the ruthless Alpha.
To protect his mother, Michael must smuggle the fairy to the new Fae world before anyone discovers her. To do that, he'll need the help of the Witches-his best friend Zanna, in particular-but tensions between the Wolves and Witches are high as both are fighting to claim the abandoned Woodlands. And if he cannot ensure neither side's claims are successful, the fairy will be exposed along with his mother's secret.
But protecting the fairy comes at a price. Michael wants to hate her, but finds himself drawn to her in ways that threaten his mission and his heart. And with a forced betrothal looming over him, falling for the fairy is absolutely not an option.
Torn between loyalty and truth, duty and heart, Michael must decide who he is: the Alpha's son, the grieving brother, his mother's protector, or something else entirely. Because the Woodlands are stirring again, and Michael's choice could bring war or redemption.
