Bestselling author, Scarlett Dawn, brings you the eye-opening Origin story you’ve been waiting for. In a world of Shifters and magic, the ultimate tease is knowing when to wait and the right time to pounce. But...who is the hunter and who is the prey? When an Origin and an Ancient collide, this new world may not survive. Puppets. They were all puppets. Elara Brigh knows what these Shifters think of her. Just as she knows assumptions can be a powerful tool. She’s weaved their lives so far with minimal trouble, but one aggravating obstacle can no longer be ignored. Theron King likes to play. And he’s watched. He’s waited. Her smell... Oh, her smell. It’s power. Power the Ancient has scented before. One thing is fact: Elara Brigh is a liar.
