I am a shifter. I turn into an animal when I feel threatened or angry or I want to run.
The thing is, my mate is a wolf.
I am not a Wolf. I shift, true, but I am all but a wolf.
I am a Felis Concolor, also known as a mountain lion, puma, cougar, and many other names, sacred to some natives.
I am a rare breed. I live alone.
My mother is the mother of all of my kind.
Just as the wolves are daughters and sons of the moon goddess, I am the daughter of the sun goddess.
She has been worshiped through the years but lately, the moon has gotten more credit than her.
The Sun Goddess is the mother of all, she gives light to the moon, she could take it away at any time.
I am the cat that will unite the night and day.
I am the Alpha of the Lions.
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.
