The supernatural world is ending, whether we want it to or not. The only thing we can do is slow it down. This is the job of the marked; slow the conflict, destroy whoever you have to to do it, and never, under any circumstances, go by your own rules.
Live like you've never lived before.
Last until the end.

A gust of cold air whips past my face as the world goes dark, flashes of children playing, adults arguing and the old dying invade my head the split of a second, as soon as they appear they're gone. A shrill wail of a baby's first cry, to the squeal of its first word bounce around the walls of my brain, each collision, electrifying a neurone that transmits a gut-wrenching throb to the nape of my neck.
Severe burning encapsulates my body, the vibrations in a distant wail spurring on the feeling of my skin liquifying under the immense heat of a white hot furnace, dripping off like wax. The pain invigorating like the burst of adrenaline from an epi pen. The feeling of pure liquid nitrogen pumping through my veins causes me to double over, forehead resting on a sparse patch of dead grass. I squint, glaring in front of me, my other comrades gulping down air as if it were to be taken away at any minute. "Well that was fun." Liam pants.
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.
