Alexis Nomi, a girl born of a powerful union between a wolf and a hybrid, is a unique blend of magic and might. She is bonded to the spirits of a wolf, a vampire, a fae, and a dragon, but instead of being celebrated for her extraordinary gifts, she is ostracized by her pack, loved by few, and despised by most.
In a bid to escape the hostility and discover her true identity, Alexis flees to the Free Territories - a wild and uncharted land where she can be free from judgment. Accompanied by her secret admire and a sworn enemy, both staying in the shadows, Alexis begins her journey of self-discovery, learning to harness her diverse powers and understand her place in the world.
Unbeknownst to Alexis, her mate, Max Wang, follows her into the Free Territories. Max has always loved Alexis deeply but has kept his distance, fearing that his enemies would kill her if their bond was revealed. Even after Alexis rejects his wolf, Max continues to protect and aid her from the shadows, hoping that one day she will understand his true feelings and forgive him.
As Alexis navigates the challenges of the Free Territories, she must confront her past, reconcile with her powerful spirit guides, and uncover the strength within herself. Along the way, she discovers Max's secret support and the depth of his love. But the question remains: can Alexis forgive Max for his hidden actions and accept his love, or will the scars of their past keep them apart?
A young fairy's desire to break free from the restraints tethering her to her world, pushes her into the arms of a charming, young wolf, whose world benefits from keeping her shackled.

Sixteen-year-old Ellette longs to know what the world is like outside of the Woodlands, home to all Fae. As the black sheep of her family, her curious and stubborn nature makes it difficult for her to adhere to the strict ways of her people. One night while running away, Ellette stumbles upon Michael, an injured werewolf. She makes the choice to save his life, and intends to send him on his way once he recovers. But the more Ellette gets to know the intriguing, young wolf, the more reluctant she is to let him go.
And letting him go would certainly be in her best interest.
Not only is Michael an intruder in the Woodlands, but the very creature all Fae have good reason to fear. As his forbidden presence threatens the safety of all Fae, Ellette finds herself torn between following her heart or doing right by her people.
