Cordelia has nothing left on Nantahala lands. Her family cut her loose, her Alpha stripped her of standing, and her mate turned her away. Now the pack has handed her a new assignment: Carnage Island, a place where the worst wolves alive have been sent to rot. She steps onto the shore and every male head turns. She reads as an Omega, but she carries an Alpha's build, and that combination makes her a target before she takes a second breath. The island runs on one rule: take what you can hold. Three Alpha males fix their attention on her, and what begins as a survival scramble turns into something more tangled. Each of them wants to claim her. She has other ideas. The violence here is not symbolic. Teeth and claws settle disputes, and Cordelia has to decide whether she will be prey or something the island has never seen before. The emotional center of the book sits in that question: can a wolf who has been rejected by everyone she knew build something fierce and her own in the most dangerous place imaginable.
