Choices should come easily to a queen. Especially the queen of panther shifters. But Dare, leader of the Nox, faces the most difficult decisions of her life as she struggles to keep her freedom and keep the Nox safe. Destined to marry when she turns twenty-two and give up the magic that is her birthright, Dare fights back, determined to change the course of history. Only along the way she falls for a human who forces her to face the reality that there are some things she can’t resist. Zac Morgan has crossed the globe hoping to find comfort after a tragic loss has left him empty. He hopes Sullen’s Grove will give him peace and just a little taste of home. Even though he’s worked hard to keep his heart protected, he can’t stop the attraction he feels for the mysterious green-eyed college girl Dare. When Zac is thrust into the middle of a dangerous shifter war, Dare may be the only one who can save him. Sometimes the choices we make are the ones we least expect.

Excerpt

I can see the blood trickle faster now that the point of the knife is pressed deep against his skin. His eyes are closed. He doesn’t see me. None of them does. They are too focused on the fire and the sacrifice they are about to make in the shadows of its flame. I crouch, the limb supporting me as I edge closer. I am outnumbered. If I pounce now, the Tribe will surround me in seconds. But, if I wait much longer, they will kill him. There in the center I see everything familiar to me. I know them and somehow the wildness and violence I’m witnessing has stripped away the memories of who I thought they were. I’m forced to feel my raw emotions spilling around me, consuming my choices, my inaction. How has this happened? My ears twitch at the low growling sounds that start in the center of the circle, then make their way around until they’re so loud it’s deafening. My head throbs from the sounds of their celebration. I don’t have time to regret the choices that led us here. Later. Regrets are for later. The steel blade sinks against his skin, and my eyes narrow. Now. I need to move now or he will be lost to me forever. The forest will hear my roar and so will the Tribe. I leap from the branch, landing in the center, scattering the fire and the knife. They growl, their sharp teeth bared at me. I’ve spent my life fighting for humans, but tonight I will fight until I’m dead.
