Evernight City sits on the border between the Wolf and Frost clans, protected by a joint force of humans and nonhumans. Ronan, the strongest Alpha of the Wolf Clan, is wounded both by a demon-core backlash and by old heartbreak. Elara, a purification officer from the Frost Clan, becomes his partner, but a betrayal from three years ago and a web of power plots trap her. Someone tampers with her identity gem, her abilities are questioned, and she is humiliated while she tries to prove her innocence.
As monsters grow stronger and an old love resurfaces, the two shift from hostility to mutual dependence. They rebuild their bond through hard truths and destiny, while power, bloodline and desire tangle in a dangerous pact built on marks, control and redemption.
