Oliver, a husky shifter, is sold off by his gambling-addict stepfather to settle a debt. Fleeing his debt collectors, he falls off a cliff and stumbles into the forbidden territory of the wolf pack. Desperate to survive, he disguises himself as a werewolf and fights tooth and nail in the brutal "Wolf Queen Trials" to earn his place. What he doesn't know is that pack leader Kaelen saved his life once before—ten years ago, when Oliver was just a pup—and that Oliver is Kaelen's "fated mate," the only one who can calm his full moon rampage. But surviving the trials is just the beginning. Oliver is dragged into a secret storm threatening the pack's very existence—a traitor hidden within. In the end, Oliver's courage and pure heart shatter the walls of racial prejudice. He and Kaelen expose the traitor, break the pack free from their cage, and lead them to a new dawn.
