With one battle won, the war between the Northwood pack and the Long Claw pack rages on. Meanwhile, the demons continue to complicate matters. Their toxic and chaotic influence poisons everything-and everyone-they touch.

Proving her loyalty to the Long Claw pack and her gratitude to Galen, Talia continues to care for the ailing Alpha as an unexplainable sickness ravages his body. But nothing could have prepared her for a demon attack in the most warded home in the territory.

Though she survives the fight, Talia does not walk away unscathed. The young, virgin she-wolf finds herself demon-marked, and it seems there is nothing the pack or the allied witches can do about it.

As chaos reigns and the Long Claw pack's strength is repeatedly tested, Talia comes face to face with her old Alpha-the shifter who killed her father in cold blood. With revenge in her heart, Talia takes her pound of flesh, but is left with more questions than answers when the Alpha taunts her; alluding to an inexplicable darkness that resides within her. One passed on by her mother...
