Margot keeps the books for a dying logging town that empties out every full moon—and survives by refusing to ask why. Then a mutilated body surfaces from the river clutching a silver-and-jade pendant identical to her late mother's, and the town's reclusive landowner tells her the dead man's scent matches her own. Dorian is an alpha, the town is his pack, and Margot's blood carries something his kind has feared and hunted for generations: the bloodline that makes alphas. As a rival pack closes in to claim her, the woman who swore she'd never shift is about to learn exactly how powerful—and how dangerous—she was born to be.
