Skin of the wild

In a world where For sixteen years, wolf shifters live as giant wolves hidden deep within the wilderness. Only when they come of age do they gain the ability to wear human skin-a secret used to survive the hunters determined to destroy their kind.

When young black wolf Vilot undergoes her first shift, she makes a dangerous choice: leave her birth pack behind. While most wolves who leave simply seek a mate to form another traditional pack, Vilot dreams of something different-a pack built on choice instead of blood, loyalty instead of fear, and freedom instead of strict hierarchy.

As hunters close in and rival packs condemn her ideas as dangerous corruption, Vilot gathers a group of outcasts, loners, and unwanted wolves around her. Among them is Renn, a guarded lone wolf who challenges her at every turn-even as an undeniable bond grows between them.

To survive, Vilot must fight not only the humans hunting her species, but the ancient traditions her own kind refuses to abandon.
