Peta isn't normal. She's not even human all of the time. Of course no Fenrir is human ALL of the time. Not when they have the option of shifting into a wolf. Too bad she hasn't had the option to shift in ages. Not since she hit her first heat and all the males started losing their minds. Her Dad's refusing to let her leave the den and she's going stir crazy. Luckily Peta's Mum and brother have found a way to sneak her out so she can have the freedom she so desperately needs.

Ryder's alone. Rejected by his people. Outliving every human he's ever met by thousands of years. Then there are the Fenrir, they hate the Aesir, and in particular they hate Ryder. He would never have anything to do with them, except for the fact that he just hit one of their females with his motorcycle. He knows he can't leave her injured on the side of the road, but helping a Fenrir isn't easy, and he has the bite to prove it.

With Ryder's help Peta is quickly back on her feet, but now the Aesir is sick and he's following her around like a love sick puppy. Peta is unnaturally protective of Ryder, her family is freaking out, and the only solution to their problem is to get him to the Dwarves, a race of people Peta didn't even believe actually existed.

Can a Fenrir and an Aesir be anything other than enemies? Is Ryder simply sick, or is something else going on? Can the pain of the past be erased by love, or are some pains too dark and too deep to heal?
