Five years ago, Alpha Gideon Nightshade rejected Elara Demlow in front of their pack. Wolf-less, humiliated, and unwanted, Elara did the only thing she could. She left. Now she has a life in the human world, a career she fought for, and absolutely no intention of ever returning to the pack that treated her like she was worthless. Until Gideon shows up at her door. A mysterious curse is killing his people, and somehow, Elara may be the only person capable of stopping it. Going back means facing the wolves who once looked down on her. The Elders who still don't want her there. And worst of all, the mate who rejected her—only to discover that the bond between them isn't nearly as dead as she believed. But something about the curse doesn't make sense. Elara can see things no one else can. Strange markings appear before her eyes. A power she doesn't understand is beginning to awaken inside her. And the deeper she digs into the deaths, the clearer it becomes that her return to the Nightshade Pack may not have been a coincidence. Someone wanted her gone five years ago. Someone may still want her dead. And this time, Elara refuses to run. Because Gideon isn't the only one who has changed. And the wolf-less girl they cast aside may be far more dangerous than any of them ever imagined.
