In Hollow's Creek, werewolves aren't just legend. They're the town's oldest secret and Candice Olson is about to become part of it. Candice has always had one foot out the door. A musical life waits somewhere beyond the Valley. But when her best friend vanishes amid a string of kidnappings and murders, leaving isn't an option. Digging for answers uncovers secrets that cut deeper than she's prepared for. And surviving an animal attack doesn't just leave scars; it awakens a power she was never meant to have and binds her to blood bonds that were never meant to be broken. Now she's navigating a world where the wolves closest to her are hiding their own agendas-one bound by loyalties that put him on the wrong side of all she's uncovering, the other offering trust that might cost her everything. In a town where freedom comes at a cost, the only question is who survives paying it.
