After losing her parents, a date with her boyfriend goes terribly wrong when she finds her boyfriend cheating on her with a werewolf. He forces a bite on her, and 18-year old Layla Gibbous is forcefully removed from everything she once held dear and is tossed into a new life at a school for the wolves of the night, Alpine Crescent Academy. 

As she learns more about her new abilities, she feels like she is being watched from the shadows. When she keeps running into a mysterious and devilishly handsome man comes on campus, Layla can't help but get close to him. If he is the one in the shadows - is he here to protect her or hurt her? 

At the academy, she is taught more about the history and the two warring factions of wolves: Nestati and Vosak. Can she stay out of the fight? Or is something more at work here, like fate?

Alpine Crescent Academy

"Tell me how to save her, Abbadon, and I will spare you," I say while prowling around him. He scoffs, pulling his ax from the ground and twirling it in his hands once before righting his stance.

"Marjstor says we cannot harm you," he says, and the sound grates on my senses. It has too many voices all at once. "But he said this one will die today." He points at Morwenna.

"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointing your precious Marjstor today." I strike, needing to use force to get the demon to submit. I have faith that Briar can save Morwenna, but if there is a chance that I am wrong, I still need this demon to tell me how to do it. If Fenrys was the one who ordered her death, then I know I won't get any help from him.

Besides, for him to help I would need to let him out of his trap and I can not afford that risk unless it is the last resort. Our last chance.
