Calla leads her shape-shifting wolf pack as the alpha female. The Keepers have arranged her marriage to Ren Laroche, the alpha male, and together they will guard the sacred sites their supernatural overlords demand they protect. This future seems certain until Calla encounters a human boy in danger. She saves his life, breaking the rules that govern her world. The beautiful stranger awakens feelings that challenge everything Calla has accepted about her destiny. Her attraction to the human forces her to question the Keepers' commands and the life mapped out for her. She faces an impossible decision between the security of her predetermined role as Ren's mate and pack leader, and the dangerous pull of her heart toward someone forbidden. Choosing love could cost Calla her position, her pack, and her life. The weight of her choice will determine not only her own fate but the future of everyone she leads.
