Six years ago, after forming a bond with the Alpha, Kallen, Laila left while pregnant. Their daughter, Eris, suffers from a condition known as "Shattered Wolf-Soul" and has little time left. Now a Mythic-tier werewolf, Kallen is Laila’s only hope; she is even prepared to sacrifice her own life to save Eris. Venora, a priestess who had falsely claimed to have saved Kallen in the past, sabotages the soul ritual and poisons the child. Kallen uncovers the conspiracy, strips the villains of their power, embraces Laila and Eris as her own family, and—under the light of the moon—seals a fated-mate bond with them.
