In a world where ancient bloodlines hold the power to protect or destroy, eleven young werewolves are born with extraordinary abilities. Their destiny is to stop an ancient evil that threatens to rise again, but their greatest challenge may lie within their own hearts. The Alpha's heir, Seth Cooper, a master of shadows, is fiercely determined to lead his pack, but his greatest obstacle is his destined mate-a fiery soul who refuses to accept him. Theodore Holden sees their bond as a curse, unwilling to be tied down by fate, while Seth will stop at nothing to prove his love and earn Theodore's love. As tensions rise and the ancient darkness draws closer, they must set aside their differences or risk losing everything. But with their hearts at war, can they stand united long enough to save their world-or will their fractured bond doom them all?
