Rane can no longer stand by and watch her clan be mercilessly hunted to ground. After demanding approval from the Claw Leader to seek an alliance with the wolves, she sets off alone to gain their aid. The bad blood between the clans makes it a dangerous journey, but the strong possibility of all clans being wiped out by the Scientists makes it worth the risk. Even Ja'gar the sexy wolf determined to make her life hell couldn't distract her from her goal...or could he? Ja'gar, next in line as the Alpha, knows an alliance is the only thing that will save them all. However, the Arktoli have repeatedly wronged his people. At first he was determined to make Rane pay for the sins of her father to gain an alliance. But then the revenge turned quickly into desire, and loving her could fatally fracture an already weakened pack.
