Her feral instincts will lead her back to them and into a desperate war for survival that will test her own understanding of who, and what, she is. And though Elena struggles to maintain the normal life she’s worked so hard to create, she cannot resist the call of the elite pack of werewolves from her past. The man who made her one has been left behind, but his dark legacy has not. And once a week, in the dead of night, she streaks through a downtown ravine, naked and furred, tearing at the throats of her animal prey. Her happy, organized life follows a predictable pattern: filing stories for her job as a journalist, working out at the gym, living with her architect boyfriend, and lunching with her girlfriends from the office.

Young, beautiful, and successful, Elena Michaels seems to have it all. I stride out onto the streets, looking for a quiet place to Change. It’s too late to drive to a safe place now-the itching has crystallized into a sharp burn. My legs now itch as well as hurt and I curl my toes to see if the itching stops. I pick up my keys, clasping my fist around them so they don’t jangle, ease open the door and creep into the hallway. There’s a pile of clothing tucked underneath my dresser so I won’t have to risk the squeaks and groans of opening drawers and closets. Philip doesn’t stir when I slip from the bed. I’ve got to get out of here – I don’t have a lot of time left.
