To escape an abusive relationship after her grandmother passes away, Amaris moves to a small town in Northern Canada. She is determined to start over , slowly making new friends, but feels like something is being hidden from her. In private, she tries to learn her powers from the ancient books left to her by her grandmother. Her parents died when she was 2 years old while on a business trip, and her grandmother raised her. She was always told she was special and that when she turned 20, she would be told her family history. (She comes from an ancient line of true witches and warlocks.) She learns of the supernatural world and understands that humans can never find out. The town she moved to is actually part of a werewolf community, but they didn't realize that one of their homes got sold to a "human" until she arrived still healing from her beating. Alpha McKinnon told his pack to be careful around this human until he could determine if this woman was trustworthy. He has been looking for his mate for years and the elders are concerned that if he doesn't find her then the pack may become weak.
