Kara's life is turned upside down when her mom uproots her from Los Angeles to Monowi, a tiny, mysterious town in the middle of nowhere, all because of yet another boyfriend.

Monowi isn’t just strange because it’s quiet and remote. Kara begins having recurring nightmares, and as she uncovers the town’s secrets, she starts to suspect werewolves might be real. But no one believes her, leaving her feeling trapped between her imagination and reality.

To make things even more complicated, her mom’s boyfriend has super-hot sons, especially Rox, who’s technically her stepbrother but seems way too magnetic for her to ignore.

As the town’s mysteries unravel and her relationship with Rox grows increasingly tangled, Kara discovers she might play a much bigger role in Monowi’s dark history than she ever imagined. Who knows, she might even be a queen. Crazy, right?

Queen of wolves

Headaches should be illegal. Kara groaned; her body ached like crazy. Her temperature was a whole other degree.

Her door flew open, startling her. "You're still in bed!" her mom yelled, and Kara instinctively held her head.

"It's 7:30 a.m.! Why are you still..." Debby paused, noticing her feet. "What happened to your feet?" she shrieked in horror.

Rushing to Kara's bedside, she placed a cold palm on her forehead. "Goodness, you are burning up," Debby panicked.

Getting on her feet, or heels, she went to get the first aid kit, rolling up her sleeves. She picked up a forceps with cotton wool she dipped in antiseptic.

"...sssss," Kara hissed as it stung. "Worry," she winced.

Debby gave her an annoyed glare. "Don't resort to self-harming just because I sent you to school to get a better life for yourself."

"I'm not self-harming, Mom," Kara drawled, trying to heat herself up as she shivered.

Debby's lips pressed in a thin line. "Then tell me why you have bruises on your feet, Kara."

Closing her eyes, Kara fought an internal battle with herself, debating whether to tell her mom about Rox forgetting her or just shut her mouth.

After a long silence, Debby shook her head. "Oh, I get it." Her mom was smart, she was sure she'd figure it out in seconds.

"He left you, didn't he?" Debby said in a calm, placid voice, her usual calm before a storm.

Lie. She definitely had to lie. Struggling to sit up, she shook her head, then regretted it. "No, Mom, that's not it," she tried to argue.

Sighing in frustration, Debby held her temples. "Stay home today. I will send some hot soup, and you should take some fever drugs and painkillers, there should be some in the drawer to your left. Don't go anywhere today, understood, young lady?"

Kara nodded as the door closed behind her. Staring at the ceiling, she sighed. "It's a damn Friday on a Tuesday, and I don't even have to pretend to be sick. I feel like shit," she groaned, burying herself under her blanket.
