A long buried prophecy warns of the awakening of Drellock, a powerful warlord, on the night of the crimson moon. Legend foretells that his return will usher in a dark age for the Earth Wolves, bringing bloodshed, devastation, and the near extinction of their kind. Driven by an unrelenting hatred, Drellock seeks to eradicate every wolf from the face of the earth. To him, the Earth Wolves have betrayed their sacred heritage by mingling with humans and polluting their bloodlines. But there is one way to stop him “a sacrifice.” Noah, Alpha of the most powerful wolf pack, is faced with an impossible choice: appease Drellock by sacrificing his mate, or defy the ancient demand and risk the destruction of his entire race. Refusing to surrender Aurora, the woman he loves beyond reason, Noah chooses rebellion over obedience. Now the earth wolves stand on the brink of extinction, and the fate of an entire race hanging on one forbidden choice.
