Amara Aldritch is a free spirit and is in no hurry to settle down and find her mate. She prefers her own company. Her father, Alexander the Alpha of her pack, fed up with his daughter's dismissal of tradition chooses a mate for her. Amara runs away, and in the process gets chased and nearly captured by hunters. Kieran Quinn, Alpha of the centuries old rival pack, swoops in and rescues Amara from certain death, but does he have his own sinister intentions with the young she-wolf from the pack whose Alpha he is sworn to hate? Amara begins to discover that not all is what it seems to be, when it comes to Kieran, or her own self as odd things begin to happen and a centuries old blood line that Amara didn't realize she had wakes up deep inside of her.
