Sky Brooks

Sky Brooks's life started with a death-her own. Sky's spent the first twenty-three years of her life unaware of this, among other things. She always thought she was just a shapeshifter until she wakes up in a strange house in rural Illinois-battered, bruised, and with only vague memories of her mother's death at the hands of vampires. At the request of a powerful witch, Sky is put under the protection of the Midwest Pack. But she isn't sure she can trust them, especially after she meets the dangerously sexy Ethan, a pack member, who's known for being more ruthless than altruistic. After she's attacked by a necromancer, a mercenary, and the vampires who killed her mother, she has no choice but to accept the pack's help. The Midwest Pack aren't quite what they seem-but then again, neither is Sky. As they form an uneasy alliance to search for the reason behind the vampires' vicious attacks, it becomes clear that Sky possesses magic no one has ever seen-and it all started with what happened at her birth.

Just survive. That's been Sky's goal since uncovering a dangerous secret: she had died at birth and became host to a very powerful spirit shade. Now Skylar has the rare ability to manipulate magic-an ability some would kill for. Needing to lie low, she declines membership in the Midwest Pack, the most powerful pack in the country. Sky thinks she can return to a normal life. She's wrong. When a pack member is brutally assaulted, Sky saves her. The Midwest Pack and their rivals, the Northern Seethe, are under attack, and the pack wants Sky to help find the person responsible. Drawn reluctantly back into the otherworld, Sky must work with the Seethe's hunter, Chris, to finish the job. Chris should be a welcome asset with her connections and extensive knowledge of the otherworld, but her turbulent history with the Seethe and Midwest Pack only causes more conflict between the enemies-turned-allies. Once again, Sky must negotiate the lies, secrets, and strange politics that govern the otherworld while struggling not to draw attention to her abilities. Now she wonders if she will be able to find the killer-and get out alive.

Sky has finally accepted that her life will never be simple again. As a werewolf who is a host to a powerful spirit shade, Sky has the ability to manipulate magic, among other things-and that means she has many enemies in the otherworld. In need of allies, Sky joins the Midwest Pack. Being part of the pack is supposed to make things better. Instead, she is pulled into a clandestine world of strange politics, dark secrets, and hidden dangers. When Sky does a powerful spell to protect Ethan, the pack's Beta, she is cursed by the Creed-the ruling body of the witches who will do anything to get rid of her. Adding to the problems, the Midwest Pack becomes responsible for guarding the Clostra, a book of magic that everyone wants, including the Creed. In the wrong hands, it can destroy the otherworld and force a battle that no one can win. When Sky meets a powerful and mysterious witch who claims he can make it all stop-the attacks, the rivalries, even Sky's lycanthropy-she is enticed. But the help comes at a price-the betrayal of her pack. Now Sky must choose-fight with the pack or betray them for her own safety.

The Midwest Pack used the Clostra to perform a powerful and dangerous spell to save Sky. Now the pack is dealing with the aftermath and doing damage control. But they can't hide how the magic has changed the dynamics of the otherworld-or that they are responsible. Ethan has dangerous secrets, and Sky begins developing new and disturbing powers reminiscent of a deadly being that once ruled and terrorized the otherworld. Once Ethan and Sky are exposed, what they are discovered to be is a death sentence, one the Creed wants to enforce. Ethan and Sky must be saved, but things are further complicated when a new pack emerges, aided by a powerful new ally, and tries to take over the Midwest Pack's territory by force. In order to survive, the pack must call in all favors and form uneasy alliances. But will that be enough?

Between life and death-there's magic. Friends of the Midwest Pack are missing, alliances are forming between enemies whose sole intent is to destroy the pack, and a mysterious group is trying to make a power grab using any means possible. With her pack and its allies in danger, and her love life threatened by secrets, Sky doesn't think things could possibly get worse. Then the spirit shade she's hosted all her life awakens-vengeful and powerful-and uses Sky to cast a dark spell over all were-animals. If she can't find a way to reverse it, they will die.

The denizens of the otherworld have always hidden their existence from humans, but when a video of a were-animal in a violent confrontation goes viral, they must take drastic measures to protect themselves. Alliances are broken and friendships strained as were-animals, vampires, witches, and elves all work to protect their own interests. When a group of humans backed by an old enemy sets out to expose the pack's existence, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to remain undiscovered. Having more secrets than just their existence, the Midwest Pack has drawn the attention of a threat greater than their exposure to humankind. As the world around them unravels, Sky, Ethan, and Josh must confront the dangerous consequences of their own secrets. When all are revealed, will any of them survive?

Being part of the Midwest Pack isn't easy-especially now. Sky's life has never been simple-and it only gets more complicated. The Alphas, Ethan, and several key players in the otherworld go missing, thrusting Sky into the position of Elite Alpha and tasking her with finding them. The list of suspects grows as Sky realizes that her mating with Ethan has caused allies to become enemies. Will she locate the missing in time or will she be the last Alpha standing? Sky doesn't know who she can trust. Too many people want her dead, including a new group of witches who want to rid the world of were-animals, especially those that who can wield magic like Ethan and Sky. Adding to the problems is a new group of vampires, who would do anything necessary to gain control in the Midwest by taking over the Northern Seethe, including hurting Sky's friends.
