And she’s never wanted to escape her ex-boyfriend more than the day he rips out a woman’s heart. So she does the unthinkable. She runs away with no plan, no money, and no regrets…until she is bitten and captured by werewolves who insist she is a threat to the very humans she wants to be like. Now she has to face the bitter reality that she has run from one prison to another, nothing more than a pawn in their game. To make matters worse, she only has until the next full moon to find a cure for the werewolf bite that tethers her to a grisly fate. Caught in a tug of war between the vampires and werewolves, Lilith is forced to question everything she’s ever known. But she isn’t alone in her journey.
