Wildecliff was supposed to be a quiet place to start over. But the lake has secrets, and Clara Dumore is one of them. She's always known her power made her different. But when a monstrous creature crawls out of the woods and nearly kills her, Clara learns she's not the only one. Four other teens have been hiding strange abilities and an even stranger truth: their bloodlines are cursed, and if they don't find the portal to another world before their eighteenth birthdays, they'll vanish. The portal won't open without all five families. And Clara is the final key. As dark creatures slip through the veil and dreams of a cruel silver eyed king begin to haunt her nights, Clara finds herself caught in a web of lies, powers, and pasts she was never meant to remember. But the fire inside her is waking. And someone, something, is watching. Trust is fragile. Time is burning. And the truth is far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

But in the lead up to Leila's 18th birthday, an unknown enemy rises and starts picking off both of the kingdoms surrounding packs, one at a time. As numbers become low and fear rages through the land, will the Night Shade and Blood Moon royals be able to put their differences aside and align? Or will they let their kingdoms fall...
