Her past is a lie, her future is her choice. Soon-to-be nineteen-year-old Lyra Everhart has always felt out of place—and not just because of her overprotective and distant parents in their small coastal town. While everyone in her world is a werewolf by nature, Lyra is still waiting for her wolf to emerge—a mark of belonging she fears may never come. To make matters worse, her mysterious, recurring dreams of another life only deepen her sense of isolation. On her birthday, Lyra stumbles upon a hidden letter that reveals shocking secrets about her family’s past. Desperate for answers, she flees her sheltered home and crosses paths with a charming and enigmatic traveler who seems to understand her in a way no one else ever has. Together, they unravel pieces of her lineage, awakening a powerful and ancient magic within her that neither of them can explain. As Lyra and her companion grow closer, their bond ignites extraordinary abilities and uncovers fragments of her destiny. But just as Lyra begins to feel she might have a place in this world—even without her wolf—tragedy strikes, threatening to tear apart everything she’s only just begun to understand.
