Fifteen years ago, Jackson Devereux's wife and son were brutally murdered by Gianna's vampire coven, and he was forever changed. In more ways than one. With his thirst for vengeance fuelling him, it didn't take him long to adjust to his new life as a werewolf, and he finally finds solace when Gianna meets her end at the hands of their newest pack mate, Brooke Leighton. But her death, and the dissolution of her coven, is not the end of the Pack's struggle for survival. A war for territory is being waged, and humans are getting caught in the middle-some killed, others bitten and turned-and it's up to the Pack to defend the area against the growing army. They make it their mission to find the newly bitten and guide them before the strays can. It's this direct order from Brooke that leads Jackson to a newly bitten woman by the name of Ellie King. He isn't sure what it is, but she evokes something in him he never thought he'd experience again, and he allows himself to submit to it. When an even bigger threat than the strays makes itself known, Jackson finds himself in the middle of the biggest fight of his life: Does he keep himself rooted in his past, or does he take that first step into his future?
