In a secretive mountain town, shape-shifters live in uneasy alliance—predators in peace—until a rogue werewolf appears, drawing the attention of a fiercely independent shifter named Elara. As forbidden feelings rise, old laws and ancient rivalries resurface. Trust, loyalty, and the meaning of love will be tested. Elara: A rare fox-shifter with a sharp mind and untamed heart. Proud, loyal, but deeply lonely. Kael: A mysterious werewolf with a dark past and golden eyes who doesn’t belong anywhere… until her. Jase: Elara’s childhood friend (a jaguar-shifter) who harbors hidden feelings—and dangerous ambition. The Council: A group of shape-shifter elders that ban cross-species bonds, especially with wolves.
