About This Book

The crisp night air carries the soft rustle of leaves underfoot as Sakura steps beyond the forest's edge for the very first time. The scent of smoke curls in the distance, mixing with the wild, earthy smell of the woods she’s always called home. Her heart races — because tonight, the safety of her pack is gone, and the fate of her world rests on her shoulders.
