Heartbroken by the death of his mate, Alpha Sam is wasting away. His second in command, Viola, must go in search of the brother that was banished many years ago. If they can bring Sam's twin home, they may be able to ward off the impending war that creeps closer to their border every day. But when they finally find Sebastian, they quickly learn that bringing him back will be more difficult than they ever imagined. He doesn't want to lead, doesn't want a pack, doesn't want his mate, and doesn't even want his wolf. Hunted by the same enemy, their ragtag group of misfit paranormals must find a way to work together if they want to survive. As they find a way into the enemy's fairy kingdom, Sebastian endures the slow burn of his wolf finding a way back into focus. Can Vile and Base find a way to save the pack, save Sam, and save each other?
