Older cover edition of ASIN B00Q7M4OMK When flying monsters break through the veil into her world, Mackenzie Scott has nothing left to lose. Her brother has been taken, her future has vanished, and all that remains is a desperate need for revenge. After discovering the breach the creatures used as a gateway, Mackenzie devises a plan to stop them, whatever the cost. When she finds an injured stranger in the street, he just might be the key she needs to succeed. What Mackenzie doesn't know is that this stranger isn't the helpless boy he appears to be. He's one of the monsters. And he's got plans of his own. Thrown into a dying city in another realm, Mackenzie is powerless to get back. With the gateway closing, time is not on her side. But the stranger is, and if they can escape execution, this girl and her monster might be able to save both their worlds.

The storm was only the beginning... Mackenzie Scott is trapped in another realm, but that's the least of her problems. Magic runs through her veins, and even now she can feel herself changing. She's managed to help her brother, but in exchange, she's turning into one of them. Worse, Mackenzie's not just a monster. She's their queen. Hunter had one open the gateway between worlds to keep his realm alive. He hadn't counted on betrayal. He hadn't counted on being saved by a human girl. And he'd never guessed he couldn't trust his own king. Now he's trapped in a world to which he can never truly belong. Separated by realms, Mackenzie and Hunter must save the other's world. But the divide isn't the only thing working against them. Beasts and men fight a dangerous battle that pits Hunter and Mackenzie against those they're trying to protect. And the clock is ticking.
