Life can be so predictable when you're 18 and happen to be a teenage werewolf. Wait, what? Ok, so maybe I'm not so much a 'werewolf,' and really shape-shifter, but, honestly, what's the difference? My name's Talon Harris and I was TRYING to live a normal life until my 18th birthday changed everything. Cue in Jake Forrester, the 'alpha' who decides to take me in because, apparently, a girl like me needs to be 'protected.' Little does he know that girls can fend for themselves just fine. He's arrogant, rough, and a total jerk! I SHOULD hate him, but when has life ever been that simple?
This is the story of my life and how drastically it changed that dark, stormy night (ok, so maybe it wasn't 'stormy,' but I'm trying to be dramatic, here!) and THIS is your invititation to come along for the journey. Honestly, what could possibly be more fun than watching me kick Jake's butt and prove who's really 'top wolf' around here?

It's a Wasteland, baby. In the uncomfortably not-so-distant future, the world has been ravaged by natural disasters, water shortages, and public apathy. People like Kai Gilling have flocked to the desert (once known as the American West) in hopes of finding a better life. After picking up a pair of siblings, the three come across a strange woman who claims to have a map to Arcadia, an urban legend rumored to be the only city thriving in the wreckage of the old world. Will they keep their hearts set on an oasis in the desert--even if it's just a mirage? Or will they be tempted by something else
