In Cape Aurelia, everything begins and ends with the Echelon—a dismantled aristocracy reborn in the shadows—as powerful as they are secret. After generations of loss and suffering, three alphas from the exiled Cerulean family are fighting for reentry into the Echelon’s clandestine ranks by competing in the Trials, a set of five deadly tests. Before they can begin, each pack is supposed to be gifted a noble omega. Instead, the Ceruleans get me. Pulled from a brothel, I’m forced into the Trials at threat to my family. I’m not a noble. I’m not even an omega. My very presence is an insult, and they don’t hesitate to remind me. If they're determined to shackle me, I will become their reckoning.

Three alphas. One omega. Five deadly trials. When I was first given to the Cerulean pack like a bartered object, I had one goal and one goal escape. While trapped together in the clutches of the dark and dangerous secret society, these vicious men, once my captors, have become my protectors. But in a world where lies and secrets are more abundant than truths, I can’t let my guard down. It’s no secret the once-exiled Ceruleans are the least-favored pack competing in the Trials. But we have something that none of the others each other. This book must be read after Part I, as it is a continuous story that can’t be read out of order.

What do you do when everything you know turns out to be a lie? The end of the Trials is almost here, but the Echelon’s dark secrets are far from over. My alphas have lasted longer than anyone expected and I am feeling things for these men that I never expected. Even as underdogs, they continue clawing their way to the top, threatening the powers that be. But while the Elders are busy trying to take us down, they forget to watch their backs. They should know better by now than to underestimate Pack Cerulean. This book must be read after Part I & II, as it is a continuous story that can’t be read out of order.
