“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.

It’s a good thing too because there’s a ton of them—I count ten in total and I’ve only committed about a third of the names to memory.


The youngest and the first one I’ve had the honor of meeting—little Calvin Fisher—awakened with a sneeze. He tumbled over foster siblings lying in puppy piles, gait unsteady, and made a beeline right into Kenny’s lap. He curled up like a Persian, head pillowed by Kenny’s bicep, and nodded right back into dreamland.
