Caity is dark, mysterious and quiet, yet an ever present force in her pack. The daughter of two Alpha's. She's different to the other females in the pack, excluded from the normal feminine girly and unwothy things. Instead, Caity fights, practising for a day when she might lead her pack into war next to a mate just as powerful as she. A mate with a bloodline just as pure and just as dark, brooding and threatening as she stands and in demeanour. But there's more than what meets the eye. Beneath her uncaring strength and dark personality, all that Caity wants, all that Caity needs, is the love that her mother and father have never shown her, love so deep that it could thaw the icy ventricles of her black lace heart. But how can that happen with a mate who is just as swathed in black lace as she is herself?
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
