Isadore, a wolf-shifter with a troubled past, returns to her ancestral home of Black Hollow to inherit the Ashwood pack, a legacy she never wanted. Haunted by past trauma and the weight of her family's crumbling pack, she navigates a complex web of family secrets, rivalries, and looming power struggles. Her return reignites a complex relationship with her former mate, Caleb, and his new fiancée, Aria. Meanwhile, Isadore faces hostility from the pack elders, particularly from her ambitious half-brother, Ryker, who is vying for control. As tensions rise, a mysterious stranger from the Ironcliff pack, Xavier, enters the picture, offering a different perspective and adding intrigue to the already turbulent dynamics of Black Hollow. Isadore must choose between standing alone and accepting the aid of a powerful ally as she fights to save her pack from Ryker's destructive influence, reclaim her place, and heal the wounds of her past.
