Sorry in advance for all the complicated names! They're just names, and if enough of you don't like them, I can change it! I know sometimes it's really boring reading the blurb, and if it's too long, you just give up reading it. Please comment if it is too long, and I will try and shorten it. * In the region of Kahlabergin, known as Bergin, when a baby is born, they are marked with a special ink that disappears into their skin until they turn into an adult. To become an adult, a child has to pass the Wilderbeast Trials, when all of the children from the whole country gather to take the tests. There, all of the children are the same, no matter what region, and there, they all face the horrors of the Trials. The Berginiers are the enemies of the Alyiners, those who live in Alyin. The Alyiners rule the majority of the country. And to the North lies the region of Ikche. There, no-one who enters comes out the same. They are neutral in the hatred that runs among the country. Freya Gholah, an ordinary girl from an ordinary family in the ruling region, one of three in the country, just turned 16. Her region is the biggest and best of them all. Like every other 16-year-old child born that month, she travels to the Trial Islands, where she will be tested for her strength, ability and judgement. If she survives, she will become an adult. If she dies, she will... be dead. But something else lurks in Freya's skin, ready to come out and cast her out of the only place she has ever belonged. Lonely and lost, Freya must travel North, to the country where no-one who enters returns the same, to the moonlight figures of the Ichæns, and to where fate is ready to play more games with her.

Whoever Fiáin was born to be died along with her twin brother. She died when a strange white wolf came into their territory and murdered her brother in front of her. All her life, Fiáin had lived with the guilt of having hidden rather than trying to defend her twin, and it didn't matter to her that she had only been a cub herself, or that the effort would've been futile. In her eyes, her brother's loss was her fault. But just as painful as that guilt was the fear that accompanied it; a fear so relentless that she'd never taken her place in her pack, and had settled into a position only one rung above omega. But her family think she's failing to step up, and her father believes that if he just pushes her hard enough, her inner wolf will push back. Cróga, on the other hand, had always known his place. He'd grieved for his younger brother too, but as his father's heir and the subject of an elven oracle's dire prophecy, he couldn't let fear hold him back. Whatever dreams or desires he might have had didn't matter, because one day he would be an alpha male, and a commander of both the Tírgarda and a naval fleet, duty-bound to guard the coast of Tírlaochra from invading forces. His own guilt weighed heavily on him too, because the oracle had forewarned that he could only take his place once his father lost his life, and Cróga wasn't ready to face that loss, or to face his own self-doubt. When the white wolf reappears, Fiáin isn't prepared for her father's decision to send her away, to be the mate of a wolf she barely knows. She's even less prepared for a journey in the company of Styrkr, a male from across the sea who wants to travel Tírlaochra before taking more responsibility in his own pack. None of that matters for long, though, because when the black ships appear from the fog that blankets the sea, war returns to a land that's known peace for centuries, and both Fiáin and Cróga will need to find their places, for the good of everyone.
