Анна Лэтэм не представляла, насколько сложной и опасной может быть жизнь, пока не стала оборотнем. И пока не вышла замуж за Чарльза Корника, сына и силовика Брана, лидера североамериканских оборотней. Анну и Чарльза пригласили на саммит, где будет обсуждаться предложение Брана: волки должны наконец открыться людям. Но самый страшный альфа в Европе категорически против этого плана. И похоже, кто-то еще тоже против. Когда на Анну нападают вампиры, использующие магию стаи, которая подвластна только оборотням, Чарльзу и Анне приходится объединить свои таланты, чтобы выследить того, кто стоит за нападением, или они рискуют потерять все…

После трех лет унижений в стае она научилась не поднимать головы и никогда, никогда не доверять доминирующим мужчинам. Но Анна — редчайший вид оборотня: омега. И один из самых могущественных оборотней в стране осознает ее ценность как члена стаи и как его пары.
