368 pages
A wintry, atmospheric urban fantasy where healing from deep trauma goes hand-in-hand with finding your pack.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like stepping into a snowbound Montana forest: crisp, dangerous, and deeply atmospheric. It balances the visceral, bloody edge of werewolf politics with a surprisingly tender and quiet emotional core. The narrative draws you into a tense world of dominance and submission, but the true heartbeat of the story is the slow, hard-won journey of healing from severe trauma. You are right there with the heroine as she unlearns her fear, moving from a place of absolute subjugation to discovering her own unique, quiet power. It is a deeply satisfying read for anyone who loves their urban fantasy laced with a slow-burn, fiercely protective romance and a heroine who slowly but surely finds her steel.

About the book
Anna never knew werewolves existed until the night she survived a violent attack...and became one herself. After three years at the bottom of the pack, she’d learned to keep her head down and never, ever trust dominant males. But Anna is that rarest kind of werewolf: an Omega. And one of the most powerful werewolves in the country is about to recognize her value as a pack member—and as his mate.
