~Book 1 of 3~
Ava King has always known she was different.
Not like the other foster kids she grew up with.
When she turned sixteen, everything changed.
She came home from work to find her foster family murdered-
and strangers searching the house for a girl.
A girl she knew, without explanation, was her.
Since that night, Ava has been running.
From city to city.
From instinct to instinct.
Because whenever that feeling settles deep in her chest, she knows-
something is coming.
Now, at twenty-four, Ava is stronger. Faster. Dangerous in ways she doesn't fully understand.
But no matter how far she runs, they always find her.
When the bar she works at is burned to the ground the one night she wasn't there,
Ava realizes the truth:
She isn't just being hunted.
She's something they've been searching for.
And she's not the only one running.
Luca Black has spent years on the run, branded a murderer for a crime he didn't commit-the brutal killing of his parents, the werewolf king and queen.
Hunted by his own kind and forced into hiding, Luca has one goal: survive long enough to uncover the truth.
But when his path collides with Ava's, everything changes.
Because Ava isn't just another target.
She might be the key to everything-
the truth behind his past, the war brewing beneath the surface...
and a prophecy that could either save their world-
or destroy it.

She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time.
