Betrayal of the worse kind strikes the wolves of Sapphire Lake leaving death and destruction in its wake. Families ripped apart, bonds broken and homes destroyed - it's a daunting task to pull together and face a future without parents, children, and mates. Rachel and Gabe, newly bonded mates, are caught in the midst of a horrendous tragedy. Not only are their lives and future at stake, a race of ancient beings and a village of innocent women and children face extinction at the hands of a vindictive shifter. She's the only one who can help... If she can escape. If she can find her way through challenges that would make the weak faint. If she dares to do what's right, no matter the cost. And time is running out.
