Since the beginning, when the first skinwalker ancestors--the lupines--shed their skins and transformed from wolves into men, shifters have roamed the earth as both man and wolf. As the first people, they watched the evolution of humankind and were soon named the guardians of earth and the watchers of mankind. But the shifters soon discovered they shared something in common with humankind: an infinity for both good and evil and a growing desire to claim the hearts of the sons and daughters of man.

One issue-make that a colossal problem, Cain is sitting at her assigned table. Forced together by chance and circumstance, Cain must make a choice.

In a fleeting moment, when she kissed him, his inner wolf woke. But Lexi's made it perfectly clear she's not interested in finding a mate--human or lupine. It's going to take all his patience, wisdom, and animal instinct to win her over and bring her into the Lakota fold.
