Holly Freeman was ripped from the life she'd once known. An unknown pack destroyed her own within minutes, known only by their lightening bolt markings. Forced to flee, Holly unwittingly stumbled her way into the territory of the Shadow Pack. The Shadows are near legend in her world, with a fearsome reputation in both dominating other packs within North America, and giving no mercy to those deemed enemy. The Shadows are spearheaded by one tenaciously ambitious and ruggedly handsome Shadow Alpha: River Matthews. Destined as mates, Holly and River are brought together and soon uncover the identity of the pack that so viciously destroyed Holly's home: The Strikers. A pack intent on eliminating their humanity as to favour the wolf within, The Strikers are the first in history to rival the Shadows in both numbers and brutality. Despite a victory against a portion of The Strikers' pack, Holly and River understand that the very existence of this pack threatens lives amongst wolves everywhere. The elusive Striker Alpha, known only as Xander, is hellbent on his mission. A mission to both eliminate the human within the wolf, as well as find and secure his mate: someone within the Shadow Pack. Life has other plans though, as Holly falls pregnant unexpectedly, and all seems far too quiet in the woods of Northern California for either her or River to believe The Strikers have disbanded. How will she and River begin a family together with the looming threat of The Strikers? And how can they save the member of their pack who is destined to be with Alpha Xander? Holly and River must find a means of overcoming the mountainous hurdles placed before them, all while ensuring the safety of their family and pack, and werewolves everywhere. The second installment of the Shadow Saga will prove that not every ending is a happy one, and not every danger is avoidable.
