Not on purpose, but not exactly by accident. Regardless, those three little words have changed the course of my life as I know it.
Suddenly, I’m thrust into a supernatural world I never knew existed to become sworn property of The Sanctum - a magical council ruling over all magical beings.
My punishment? Confinement within the crumbling fortress of Institute 13, built for monsters like me. Shadow fae, feral wolves, and bloodthirsty vampires… this prison houses the darkest of their kind, and somehow I am one of them.
I don’t know what I am, only that something snapped inside of me that night… and there is no gluing it back together.
The Outcasts may seem like they’re thriving, but I refuse to become their prey. Freedom is the only thing I care about now. And nothing—not fear, not love, not the past—will stop me.
