There's something irresistible about Elena Michaels—she's fierce, dangerous, and the only female werewolf in existence, but she's desperately trying to leave that dark world behind and build a normal life in Toronto. When the Pack calls her back for help with a deadly uprising, she's convinced it's just one last job before she can finally be free... except nothing about her past is willing to let her go so easily. Packed with supernatural action, complicated relationships, and a protagonist who's trying to outrun her own nature, this is a gripping paranormal thriller that'll have you questioning whether we can ever truly escape who we are. Armstrong creates a gritty, immersive world where being the strongest person in the room doesn't always mean having the most power.
