Wolf shifter, Ryan Scott, likes to walk on the wild side. He craves freedom and independence like no other. So when Ryan feels the symptoms of turning Ravin, he relishes his newfound power and strength. Granted, his body doesn't look the same but he sees nothing wrong with the disease inflicted upon aging shifters. He doesn't want or need the treatment that can cure him. When his family throws him into a cell, forcing him to accept their help, Ryan revolts. He gives complete control to the violent creature living inside and plots his escape by deceiving the one female he's come to love. He turns his back on Cassie, his family, the pack, and his inner wolf, choosing a life of solitude as a Ravin. 

Shortly after he leaves, Ryan is captured by a group of humans looking for shifter blood, and they'll stop at nothing to get it. Their new method of inducing a shift is beyond torturous and leaves him begging for death. In his darkest hour, Ryan realizes what matters most in life are the ones who love and support you. And he shunned each and every one of them.  

Can he survive the abuse, fight the Ravin living within, and find his way back to those he loves so he can tell them know how wrong he was? Or will he die on a metal table alone? 

Ryan prays the faint howl of his wolf will lead him home.
