Returning home to Rockview after seven years abroad, I find my stepbrother, Daxton, and his two best friends have formed a pack.

Which is just fine, because I no longer think about that summer fling. Or the fact no alphas I’ve met since have been able to compare.

Nope, not something I think about. Not at all.

I. Am. Over. Them.

And to prove just how over them I am, I’m going to find Pack Stanton their perfect omega.

Not falling into bed with them myself: … erm …

And definitely not falling back in love with them: …

Yeah, I may need to rethink this plan!

Together at last, it appears the fate of our country lies in the hands of a girl from the wastelands, an assassin, a were-beast, a professor, an enforcer and a fallen golden boy; leaving the six of us with impossible choices to make.

Do we delve into the past in order to understand our future?

Do we follow the path that fate has set us? Or do we fight against the binds of destiny?

And can we work together to destroy the forces that threaten us all or will the restraints that have always divided us, pull us apart once again?

Because there are some looking to me to return light to the darkness. Some who believe I am the one who will save us all. Some who think I am someone special.

But what if they are wrong?

I am a lover of monsters, a wielder of crimson magic, the daughter of a dark magical.

What if Im not here to deliver a new dawn?

What if Im here to bring about the end?

I escaped Lowsky's clutches but now I'm separated from my fated mates as the country's defences crumble and far dark forces work to seize control.

Fate has spoken and I can no longer fight the inevitable pull towards the men destined to be mine. I'm desperate to find them – to know they're safe – to hold them in my arms.

But I'm not the only one searching. Tales of my existence – of my powers – mean once again I'm on the run. Only this time I don't know who I'm running from.

Can I find my mates before my enemies find me?
