This is the second book in the Cold Lake Pack series. To start at the beginning, read The Curse and The Prophecy first. The curse that separated Alpha brothers Killian and Jaxon has finally been lifted, but new dangers and new enemies are waiting just around the corner. Ever since the war that led to the curse in the first place, magic has been outlawed amongst wolf packs and witches have been suppressed. Briar has been held captive most of her life, hidden away by a pack that wants to use her family's abilities to give them an advantage in the next war to come. Wolf politics and disputes were never much interest to Briar until she finds herself caught up in the conflict in a far more personal way than she ever imagined. Will she find a way to reconcile her hatred of her oppressors with the new feelings she's having, or will the tides of war sweep away her chance at happiness? This book contains content unsuitable for readers under the age of 18.
