The veil between worlds is thinning, and Hollow Creek is at the center, tearing at the seams. Now that the Otherwood is bleeding through, magic no longer obeys rules. The more Lena uses her newfound powers, the more it costs her.

After sealing the fracture and forging a bond that defies every law of magic and pack, Lena and her mates believe they’ve bought themselves time. But the truth is, the Otherwood isn’t trying to break through, it wants to merge.

When they learn that Lena’s bloodline isn’t meant to seal the boundary, but to open it, everything changes. Loyalties are tested, and beliefs crumble, leaving the pack splintered. The group has to face the fact that it’s no longer a choice of fighting. It’s whether to surrender, transform, or be consumed.
