Being the baby and the smallest one in the family, you would expect your family to do everything in their power to make sure you were safe and happy, but not for Esme.
Esme is a werewolf and the runt of the litter. Out of her two brothers and sister, she was born as the smallest and weakest wolf. As a result, she was rejected by her family, her pack, and her mate who just happens to be the next Beta.
Running away from her pack, she stumbles upon another pack that takes her in and treats her like family. She also meets their broken Alpha who, for the first time, is looking at another woman since his mate was killed by rouges.
All is well for Esme until a cry for help from another pack has them opening their home to familiar faces, familiar faces that she hoped she would never see again.

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.
