Pain obliterates fear.

Amber Santiago is the youngest and the only pack warrior who’s survived the annihilation of the Great Santiago Clan twelve years ago, and the West Crescent Pack is now under the command of a new Alpha who’s taken her under his wing due to her tragic past.

Every year, the Werewolf King officiates an event—one that urges everyone to show how capable they are; a battle where strength, willpower, and mental toughness are being measured methodically. Amber plans to join the match as she enters the age of legality.

The task is simple.

Will Amber succeed on her way up? If she does, what could be her wish?

Amber was skeptical at first to believe everything that was written in the book because its publication date was like twenty years ago.

In those twenty years, many things could have changed—their lifestyle and practices, even the way they carried themselves.
