Rue will do anything to Nathan, but she's running out of time. The humans can't learn his secret, and the pack can't learn the murderer might have been an enemy shifter. No matter how much her tracking abilities have improved, she can't locate the killer. Rue calls in a favor from another enemy.

She puts one friend in danger, unintentionally betrays another, and then makes a mistake she can’t ever take back.
