In Trosaia, a world of Shifters and other fantastical beings, complicated doesn't begin to describe 17 year old Katherine's life. She risks life, limb, and the discovery of her family secret to rescue a man from an untold fate at the hands of a mysterious race that she has never seen before. Armed with just an unhealthy dose of curiosity, a thirst for knowledge of the unknown, and an ability she had sworn not to use, she seeks to find the origins of the mystery men. That is until an unexpected friendship with a forbidden man distracts her from her mission. Will love and happiness ever be a page in Katherine's life or will the pursuit of it only lead to tragedy, not only for herself, but for everyone she loves. Danger abounds, romance dares to bloom, and bloodshed is imminent when one strange encounter leads to another and for every hasty decision a price must be paid.
