18 year old Caitlin, abandoned by her family, enters a new school and feels an instant attraction to Jonah.

But before their romance can blossom, Caitlin finds herself changing. She is overcome by a superhuman strength, a keen sense of smell, a tremendous power, and by feelings she does not understand. Her eyes are opened to a hidden world, and she, as an outcast, finds herself caught between a werewolf pack and a vampire world.

And caught between two loves.

Caleb, a mysterious and powerful vampire, rescues her from dark forces. He needs her help. And she needs him.

But their love is forbidden. To fall in love would be to risk it all, to risk a war between races that could destroy them all.

But it is a love that transcends time and place, a love too powerful to resist. A love that will force them to decide whether to risk it all for each other…
