Laura survives as an outcast at the bottom of a brutal mountain pack, scrubbing floors while enduring daily cruelty from high-ranking wolves. Stripped of dignity after years of silence from her inner wolf, she expects death when her eighteenth birthday brings a murderous beating in the courtyard.

As Carter ruthlessly locks up her abusers and tends her wounds himself, Laura must learn to trust his fierce devotion while overcoming lingering trauma before old pack grudges ignite an all-out civil war.
