When Michael is sent to liaise with a werewolf pack on behalf of the shadowy Blackwatch organisation, he finds he might have bitten off more than he can chew. Future Alpha, Freya, is haunted by her past and desperate to break from the pack, but her mother is determined that she will see her birthright through. When their two worlds collide, Michael and Freya will be forced to learn more about themselves, and each other, than they would ever have believed possible. A standalone prequel to the hotly anticipated Dark Creatures Saga.
