Six months in the Reclaimed have left Hyatt's years in Brathnee Garden far behind him. His days of traveling with Irons, hunting Keepers, and trying to save the world are over. At Rellah's side and surrounded by new pack-mates, Hyatt works hard to embrace Cern culture and adapt to the demanding requirements of life among the Claimed.

When a training session takes an unexpected turn, Hyatt uncovers something that should be impossible and carries unfathomable implications for the whole of humanity. Unable to put it out of his mind, his need to learn the truth will test his convictions and put his life and the lives of his pack-mates in danger in search of a place that should not exist and the long-forgotten horror that may be hidden within its heart.
