There isn't a safe place in the world when someone wants you dead more than they want to live. Ryder Johansen is trying to figure out the shifter world. He was turned without his consent, another bad thing in a life filled with shitty choices. Now he's learning that he doesn't have to be an untrustworthy jerk. He can be more than the sum of his past. Maarten Visser is at a loss with his life. His pack abandoned him-him! Their alpha!-once his brother Luuk was back in power. Maybe a trip to visit the North America Alpha Anax will give him some perspective. Or maybe it'll kill him. Marcus and Nathan are getting their pack past the attack that destroyed their other compound. They've got everyone settled in a new, secure place. Except it's not as secure as they thought, and someone is out to destroy them and hurt Marcus as much as possible along the way.
