I loved my life, but unfortunately, I didn’t see the big changes on the horizon. Suddenly, my mother, Queen Omera was dead, and I was left with grief, responsibility, and a clue to my happily ever after. With my sister Iris in the thick of it, Althea back at the castle, and Indra off flipping her tail through some sort of blue Caribbean waters, I was forced to go it alone. I was told to not look too far, but how far was too far? My island kind of sat in the middle of the ocean. After a trip to the Fields of the Dragons, everything began to clear and my mind was focused on the danger that I had been facing and didn’t even know it. The Keepers, the Guide of the Souls, the Thieves of the Afterlife, were creeping from the shadows decades after their initial capture, and their leader was a very dangerous being. On top of all of that? I had to find my mates. Fortunately for me, I didn’t have to go far. Finn, Zevi, and Ash had never been more than an island away, taking care of me, watching my mind, my body, and my soul, even if I had no idea they were there. Needing them was an understatement. With the Keepers returning, the list of souls multiplying, and the pesky Giant breathing down my neck, I was beginning to think my stars were crossed. Could my mates truly be the key to my unlocking?

I am one of four destined to take the role of High Alpha in the future. My three cousins were far away, training, living, and preparing. They knew that, in the end, we would face the world together, protecting the peace and prosperity of our species. Our mothers were warriors and legends, the High Alpha’s who defeated one of the evilest Dark Magic Predators in history. But after twenty-five years of peace, the darkness was pushing back. My life had been spent training, growing, fighting with the Musabe Mukwa, and my fellow Grizzly Shifters. My mind was focused on defeating my own self-doubt, not a growing rebellion of Dark Magic. My trainer told me over and over that strength of mind was just as important as the body. He told me to make peace with my rival, Yona, a man that I wanted to loathe, but my heart screamed something else. I never thought peace would end, but it did, and it ended where my story began. From the dark shadows, the rebels gathered. They planned and prayed to an entity we only knew as The Great One. As the evils crept further toward me, the realization was made that my fight of darkness against light may determine the future of all Shifters. Steamy shifter scenes inside! Readers 18+. less
