In a world where werewolves are bound by ancient traditions, Camila, a young and reclusive she-wolf, struggles with her unique and hidden identity. Though she's only 19, she has never shifted into her wolf form, a secret she guards closely. Her quiet life is disrupted when Elias Pierce, the future alpha with a powerful lineage and a striking presence, enters her life. Despite his role as alpha, Elias is gentle and emotionally complex, contrasting sharply with his authoritative position.
Their worlds collide when Elias, driven by the undeniable call of the mate bond, claims Camila as his mate. However, Camila is hesitant and conflicted, unable to reject the bond despite her fears and insecurities. The deep-seated issues of her past add layers of tension to their relationship.
As Elias and Camila navigate their entwined fates, they must confront their personal demons and societal expectations, discovering that true strength lies in vulnerability and acceptance. Their journey reveals hidden truths and tests the boundaries of their connection, challenging them to find harmony amidst the chaos.
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.
