She heard the Calling. A creature of myth and legend, Melchiorra of the Gilded Clan risks everything to answer. But on her journey, she fell victim to a trap set by the Scientists. As she lay dying on the shores of the river, she is found by the Land Shifter Belden of the Lupine Clan. In an act to save her life, he inadvertently reveals the existence of her people, long believed to be myth... She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen, even if he didn't know what she was. Belden makes a decision to attempt to save the life of a shifter no one had ever set eyes upon. But soon he learns this creature of legend is associated with curses, death, and deception. But Belden can't help falling for the beauty promised to another. This puts him in conflict with a dangerous army that has the power to destroy all Shifters who answered The Calling.
