Penny Voss is not your typical heroine.At twenty-two, she’s rugged, sharp-eyed, and fiercely independent—the kind of girl who’s more at home in the wild than in a crowd. Raised by a survivalist father and a shaman stepmother, Penny grew up learning to track deer, read cloud patterns, and capture the soul of a storm in a single photograph. She’s a tomboy through and through: cargo pants, hiking boots, and chipped black toenail polish are her armor. Makeup? Never. Emotion? Rarely. Her camera is her companion, her pendant her secret, and solitude her sanctuary.But beneath the tough exterior is a woman unraveling. Penny’s still grieving the death of her father, haunted by strange dreams, and drawn to a truth buried deep in her blood. She doesn't know she's part werewolf. She doesn’t believe in fate. And she definitely didn’t expect to find a golden-eyed wolf stalking her through the forest like a phantom.Stubborn, smart, and soul-searching, Penny has always questioned everything—especially herself. But as the forest awakens and her past begins to surface, she’ll have to confront the legacy she never asked for.Because Penny Voss isn’t just a girl with a camera.She’s the key to a forgotten war. The heir to a bloodline shrouded in shadow.And someone’s fated mate.
