Grace Divine saved Daniel Kalbi from the werewolf curse, but the rescue cost her everything. She absorbed the infection herself, and her brother Jude vanished in the chaos. Now Grace is living with the wolf inside her while the boy she loves watches her change into something neither of them fully understands. Desperate to find Jude, Grace starts spending time with Talbot, a newcomer who seems to understand her in ways Daniel no longer can. The closer she gets to Talbot, the more her relationship with Daniel fractures. She tells herself she is in control. She is not. Something darker is pulling at Grace, and she keeps walking toward it. An enemy she thought was gone has come back, and a trap is already in motion around her. Grace does not see it. The wolf in her blood makes it harder to see anything clearly. This second book in Bree Despain's series after The Dark Divine moves fast, with real stakes for Grace's family, her faith in herself, and the relationship she sacrificed so much to protect.
