"Beware, child. Behind thee stalks the terrible shadow of thy beast."So Father Wisdom, leader of New Harmony, has told her since she was very young. Under his harsh eye, Self-Abnegation in the Service of the Lord has always struggled to subdue her "demons" of temper and rebellion.But when Wisdom's punishment kills one of her sisters, Abnegation flees the cult compound and hitches a ride across the country to Seattle. There she tries to forget her past and become Abby: a normal, modern teenager who lives with a typical family, wears ordinary clothes, goes to school with other kids, and maybe even has a boyfriend.She can't outrun herself, though, and Abby soon discovers that the beast inside her is all too real. She is dangerous, unpredictable, and powerful in ways she never imagined. Can she learn to control the wild part of herself? Or is she destined to be the monster Father Wisdom always warned her she would become?

Stuck in Bayou Galene while she completes the training to master her wolf, Abby gets caught up in a forty-year-old mystery. She opens old wounds, uncovers long-buried secrets, stirs up forgotten emotions-and possibly revives an ancient enemy of the Louisiana werewolves.As Abby learns more about the past, she begins to see the hidden side to everyone in her life: her father Leon, her grandfather Pere Claude, her former guardian Steph, and her Seattle friends. Now she can't be sure who to trust, and worries the betrayal might be coming from the people closest to her.
