Aloka Tutten has lost everything. Her brother is dead. The werewolf pack holds her against her will. They see her as weak, fragile, a burden they never wanted. Stark Lamont, the Alpha assigned to protect her, makes his resentment clear. He wants her gone from his territory. But something shifts between them. His strength draws her in despite herself. His touch stays longer than it should. His intense stare awakens something dangerous inside her. The barriers separating them start to crack. Aloka carries a secret the pack cannot discover. She is not the helpless human girl they believe her to be. War approaches their world. When the fighting begins, her hidden truth will emerge. It might rescue everyone she has come to care about. Or it might destroy them all, even if the flames consume her too.
