An orphan with no clan that will claim him, Wren Tigarian grew to adulthood under the close scrutiny and mistrust of those around him. A forbidden blend of two animals, Wren has never listened to anyone when there was something he wanted. Now he wants Marguerite. Marguerite D'Aubert Goudeau is the daughter of a prominent U.S. Senator who hates the socialite life she lives. Like her mother, Marguerite has strong Cajun roots that her father doesn't understand. Still, she has no choice but to try and conform to a world where she feels like an outsider. But the world of powerful humans must never know of the world of the Were-Hunters who exist side by side with them. To break this taboo is to call down a wrath of the highest order. To have Marguerite, Wren will have to fight not just humans who can never accept his animal nature, but the Were-Hunters who blame him for endangering their world. It's a race against time and magic that could cost Marguerite and Wren their lives – and their souls.
