An exhilarating YA adventure from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, no.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games series. At seventeen, Bryn is has the usual schoolgirl worries: a new boyfriend, a new school and a new home.

But she has one major concern that her friends don't have: she is an alpha - a human girl in charge of her own werewolf pack.

When Bryn and her closest friends, Dev and Lake, broke from the werewolf Callum's pack, it had all felt right.

Together with Chase, Bryn's new love, they had rescued some newly made female werewolves from a despicable master and established their own pack, with Bryn as leader.

Yet Bryn has always resented the rules of Pack life - the constant bowing to authority, the submission to the alpha. And she is determined to live differently, to run this pack openly and justly.

Then one night, a badly beaten werewolf shows up on her territory.

He needs help, sanctuary, care. But taking him in could violate inter-pack rules, and no one knows better than Bryn the costs of challenging those rules.

Obedience is law in Pack life, but Bryn is going to break the rules, again.
