Alexandra is having a difficult enough time getting human, coping with the unexpected loss of life of her father and a family that’s slowly unraveling in the wake of that loss of life.

So she really, really didn’t need a werewolf attempting to kill her on top of everything else.

But life just sucks sometimes, apparently. Because that’s what goes on: a vicious werewolf strike leaves Alex contaminated, confused, and instantly surrounded by strangers who all state they would like to help her. Right now, all she has to do is normally decide about Descendant who to trust. Which would be a great deal easier if one particular people endeavoring to gain her trust wasn’t Kael, a son who manages to be arrogant, infuriating, and entirely-too-hot-for-his-own-good, all at once-and who also might know more about herself than she does. Although, as it happens, that isn’t saying much.

Because her very existence has been a lie.

However now the dangerous truth is surfacing, and Alex instantly sees herself a would-be pawn in the center of an ancient war between wolves and monsters. A war that will force her to create an impossible choice, thanks to the magic tied to her bloodline. Magic that could protect the entire human globe . or leave it to the mercy from the monsters.
