Ella Madoc was different. She knew it, everyone knew it. But no one knew why. Forced to commit the most terrible of sins, Ella flees from the Winter pack, from her hate-filled father, from all those who want her dead. In her search for safety she stumbles upon answers she never thought she needed, love, friends, and more danger than she had ever faced before. Is Ella strong enough to keep fighting, keep wanting to stay alive? Or will she give in to the ever present darkness that's ready to consume her?
