Instead, she shocks everyone: powerful, gifted, and destined for more than she ever dreamed. As secrets from her past surface and a chilling vision of blood and thunder haunts her, Hollis sets off to uncover who she really is.

Holly Prange

He’s a wolf. A massive, fearsome wolf standing atop the ridge, his long fur whipping about him in the frenzied wind. He turns his glowing eyes to me, and I feel a shiver run down my spine.

I watch his teeth bare in a furious snarl.

I should be frightened. No, I should be terrified. But instead, a feeling of calm I haven’t experienced in years washes over me.

I stop running, my eyes glued to the wolf, now mere feet away from me.

“Hello, little mate,” says his voice in my head.

And then, with a thrill of terror, I watch the beast jump right at me, claws flashing.

When Everly is sold by her aunt to Lord Vlad Lacroix, she is forced to fight for her life in a seedy underworld of monsters thirsty for her virginal blood. Everything changes, however, the day she crosses paths with Alpha Logan. Can he save her from being sold yet again? Or is it already too late?
