The Alpha is missing, the Luna is dead, and the pack is splintering apart. *** She's an orphan, a witch hiding amongst humans, all she wants is freedom and stability. *** After her foster mom dies unexpectedly, 17-year-old Charlotte is hauled away to North-North Rochester, a strange little town just south of the Canadian border. From the moment Charlotte arrives, she can't wait to leave. Her new foster family does little to hide their less-than-pure intentions and she’s tired of being treated like wretched refuse. The teen longs for the freedom to embrace what she truly is, a witch. All she has to do is make it to her 18th birthday and she can leave this little town and her former foster life with it in the dust. N.N.R. may seem like a typical sleepy little town from the outside, but its citizens are anything but. Inhabited by the Arcanum Lunae pack, it was once a place where werewolves enjoyed a natural way of living. However, ten years ago, they made the mistake of welcoming a witch into their pack. Five years after that she cursed them, severing their connection with the Moon Goddess and leaving them stuck, unable to shift. One of the unfortunate souls trapped in wolf-skin is Giovanni. For years he has been fighting his wolf instincts, trying to maintain some humanity, but he’s almost given up hope. That is until he meets the skinny foster girl who's been dumped in his town. He’s shocked to learn that Charlotte is his mate and she’s a witch. Despite his rocky history with witches, Gio has no qualms about accepting Charlotte. Unfortunately, his pack is not so easily convinced. And who could blame them? Trusting a witch is what got them into this situation in the first place. Obviously, they have no desire to trust another one. Too bad they're going to have to... As secrets are unveiled and hidden plots uncovered, it becomes clear that the truth is far more complicated than any of them imagined and the real enemy is one they never expected.
