Evie is a loner, preferring the solitude of the moors to anything that civilization has to offer. She is also, she discovers as the beast awakens in her, a werewolf, not bitten but born that way, a fact which makes her unique.

But she is not the only wild thing on the moors. For the Huntsman, master of the Chase that roams across lands and worlds, seeks to claim Evie for his pack, and his coming will tear down the veils that separate this world from others, bringing chaos and destruction.

To stop him, Evie must come to terms not only with what she is but who she is, must find her place in both human and werewolf society, and accept the responsibilities that come with her power. It is a journey of exploration that will lead her to the ancient world of Tela-mon, where the first werewolves came into being, where the key to the mystery of her birth and predictions for her future are to be found in the legends of their distant past. And it is a journey that will lead her to a greater understanding of herself and what is important to her, to friendship, and perhaps even to love. So that when the time comes for her to stand against the Huntsman she will not have to do so alone, even though this means that should she fail, all those she has come to care for will perish at her side.
