Bryn stands at the center of a storm, the alpha of the Cedar Ridge werewolf pack. She is young, female, and human. Physically weaker than any werewolf, she would never survive a confrontation with another alpha, the strongest, fiercest, and most cunning of his pack.

However, she cannot ignore a summons from the werewolf Senate. A rogue werewolf is attacking humans, and the threat of exposure puts pack life in jeopardy. The epicenter of this crisis is Cedar Ridge territory—her very own land.

With no other option, Bryn must attend the meeting, where the most powerful werewolves across the continent have gathered. The issue at hand is the rogue wolf, but Bryn knows the other packs have their eyes on what she holds. Her territory. Her females. Her pack.

They want her dead.

Werewolf law forbids the other alphas from launching a direct attack. It also stops her former alpha, the enigmatic and powerful Callum, from coming to her aid. But nothing can stop Bryn from knowing what she wants. To defend her lands. To protect her pack.

To survive.
