Aliana remembers almost nothing from that night only blood on the floor, her mother's scream, glowing yellow eyes in the dark, and a hand shielding her face. She grew up hating what she is, blaming wolf nature for her mother's death.After the tragedy, Elena's best friend, Rose, took Aliana and her older brother, Noah, into her home. Rose was everything a mother should be: protective, loving, and deeply attentive.

Someone is systematically murdering anyone who knows what happened twenty years ago.Aliana believed wolves were the monsters. But as the investigation deepens, she uncovers a truth far more terrifying: the person who held her through her childhood nightmares might be the same person who tore her family apart.
