An intriguing tale about the wolf's mate

In the misty Northwoods of Seattle, Washington, there lives a young orphan named Austin Resse who is lost, hopeless, and without family. Austin's life turns upside down when he discovers that werewolves exist when he sells himself to Jason, one of them. It is uncertain what the future holds as he begins a new life with Jason. He finds the future quite dangerous. Austin starts to find out more about himself and also has to contend with Jason's struggles to control his own dark past. The fear of losing control over his newfound abilities and being tied to this world he hardly understands haunt Austin as he try to control his own power. There's the constant threat of danger from rival packs and the looming presence of James, a rogue vampire scientist. Another threat comes in the form of Darius Besteel, a werewolf hunter. Plus, there's the enigmatic Archon, an ancient being with the power to control reality. All of this necessitates Austin and Jason working together to unravel the mysteries of the Archon's plan. But that's not all: they must navigate the complex emotions of love, sexuality and identity in a world where betrayal and consequences of choices made in the past could be a matter of life or death as they grapple with their own destinies and the fate of the world they inhabit.
