The Wolf in the Cage

For ten years, Rowan Hale has lived with the same nightmare.
An abandoned theater.
A velvet red curtain.
A massive cage hidden beneath the stage lights.
And a pair of glowing red eyes waiting for her in the darkness.
Every night the dream ends the same way-her father dragging her away with a warning whispered in fear:
Don't go near the cage.
Now seventeen and desperate to survive her final year of high school, Rowan tries to ignore the strange things that have always made her different. The unbearable noise of crowded rooms. The instincts she can't explain. The feeling that something inside her is constantly trying to wake up.
But when her father suddenly uproots their lives and moves them deep into the isolated wilderness, everything begins to unravel.
The forests whisper her name.
Strangers watch her like they know what she is.
And the terrifyingly beautiful alpha of the local territory seems to recognize her before they've ever spoken.
As ancient enemies close in and violent territory wars erupt beneath the surface of the human world, Rowan discovers the truth her father has spent her entire life hiding:
She is not human.
And whatever has been sleeping inside her all these years was never meant to escape.
Caught between destiny, bloodshed, and a dangerous bond she cannot resist, Rowan must decide whether to fear the monster within her...
Or become it.
Because some cages were never meant to stay locked.
