“Where there are wolves, there’s war.”
Letting a smirk crest the corner of my lips I gazed towards the one person who had slowly captured my heart, “that may be so… but it’s going to happen on my terms.”
The year is 1952 and eighteen-year-old Ashford Wells only has one more tortuous year at Sacred Heart High left. Just one more year until he can leave the city of Lonton, and his father’s impossible legacy of being a pack Alpha. Trying to play it cool as well as keeping his head down, Ash also has to try and ignore the taunts from jocks like David Hunt about being a Casteless freak.
The only problem with Ash’s ideas of leaving Lonton is that boogeyman and all-around rebel, Kenny O’Rourke’s has a different idea of what Ash’s future will look like. One that’s going to rock the very foundations of Dustland free.

By the time my alarm went off, news of my impending death had lessened in our minds and I was, for once, excited to go to school.

Which meant a little under two hours, I’d be almost one-on-one with Suzy Sykes.


“What do you think of this, Ash?” Suzy had tied her hair back in a singular French braid, the ruby studs in her ears shaped like little hearts. A present for her sixteenth from her grandmother; Suzy’d talked about those earrings for weeks and hadn’t stopped wearing them since.


I glanced down to where she was pointing. It was a picture with tomorrow’s headline: “Mayor or Murderer? Mayor Stevens’ Fall from Grace!” splashed on the bottom.
