Deep within the untouched wilderness of the Ashen Reach lives a creature the civilized world believes has been extinct for centuries—a rare female Wildfang demi-human who has survived entirely on instinct, hidden from civilization and fiercely protective of her territory.

When soldiers enter the forbidden land to claim it for the kingdom, they discover her.

They capture her.

They cage her.

And when she refuses to submit, they use violence and cruel restraints to keep her under control.

But before they can take their prize back to the capital, they encounter something far more dangerous than the creature they've captured.

Ragnar Frostmaw, the enormous Alpha of the Frostfang Pack.

Ragnar has spent his life protecting his territory and his people, but nothing prepares him for the sight of the wounded Wildfang snarling from inside an iron cage.

He doesn't see a monster.

He sees someone who has been hunted, frightened, and abused simply because she is different.

When Ragnar and his pack surround the soldiers and free her, he expects her to flee into the wilderness.

Instead, she remains close.

She doesn't trust him.

She doesn't understand him.

And she certainly doesn't want anyone touching her.

Ragnar knows better than to force her.

For the first time in her life, someone offers her something she has never been given before:

A choice.

As Ragnar slowly earns the trust of the feral Wildfang, he begins uncovering the truth behind her mysterious existence—and why her kind vanished from the world.

But the soldiers who captured her aren't willing to let their prize disappear.

Now Ragnar must protect the last Wildfang from the very civilization that wants to possess her...

while she learns that perhaps not every creature with two legs is something to fear.
