Skylar’s death came not
at the end, after a long fulfilling existence, not in the middle, as a
result of an untimely tragic event—but at the beginning, with her birth.
As a final effort to save her dying unborn child, Skylar’s
pregnant mother, a witch, sacrificed herself by invoking a powerful
spirit shade to inhabit Skylar’s body, imbuing her with life. For
twenty-three years, Skylar lived a life of oblivion, content with her
simple job, loving adoptive mother and the monthly inconvenience of a
full moon hangover after being sedated and caged when she changed into a
wolf. It wasn’t exciting but it was her life until one night, she woke
up in a strange room in the middle of rural Illinois—bruised and with
jumbled memories of her mother’s death from a vampire attack. The
Midwest pack comes to her rescue. Known for being more ruthless than
altruistic she doesn’t know if she can trust them.
But after an
assassination attempt by a necromancer, an abduction attempt by a
mercenary, and more aggressive and violent attacks by the vampires, she
has no other choice but to accept their help. The Midwest pack quickly
discover that Skylar is the host to a spirit shade, who gives her
magical abilities, that make her as much of a danger as an asset and
that she is the key to the vampires’ plan to perform a ritual that will
give them unrestricted power. Tension rises as the pack become divided
between those who think her life is worth protecting as a potential ally
and those who believe she is too dangerous to live. In the end, Skylar
finds herself fighting for her life—a life that may be tragically taken
too soon.
