Part of Kingdom of Wolves, book 2
First published 2021
Effie Harlow grew up crammed into a pack house on Chicago's South Side, a bitten wolf with no money and no connections. She had no business getting accepted to Silver Falls University, one of the most prestigious supernatural schools in the country, and she knew it. On the road north, she meets a man who makes her feel at home in a way no person ever has, which unsettles her more than it comforts her. Silver Falls is nothing like the crowded, indifferent world she came from, and Effie quickly senses that something about her is different from the other students around her. Five alpha wolves notice it too. They are protective, possessive, and certain she belongs with them. Effie spent her whole life being overlooked, bullied, and told she was less than. Believing five powerful men who say otherwise is not easy. The central question the book keeps pressing is simple: can Effie trust that she has finally found where she belongs, or will she disappear into another crowd that never really sees her?
