Ronan never asked for a second chance — not with people, not with fate, and definitely not with the snarky wolf spirit now living in his head.
Bullied, withdrawn, and just trying to survive college without being noticed, Ronan thought he was done with drama. But when a late-night ambush in the woods awakens something ancient inside him — a voice with teeth, rage, and claws — everything changes.
And unfortunately, someone noticed.
Calla, the rebellious campus hacker with a criminal streak and a habit of sniffing out secrets, saw what he became that night. Instead of running, she offered coffee and sarcasm — and maybe, against her better judgment, her loyalty. Together, they uncover signs of a growing threat: a parasitic entity leeching life from students, hiding in shadows, and marking its prey.
The deeper they dig, the darker the school’s history becomes — redacted reports, vanishing faculty, and one professor who seems to know more than he lets on. When Calla becomes marked, and Ronan finds himself hunted from the inside out, the duo must learn to trust each other — and the monster within — before they lose everything.
But nothing is what it seems.
Not the enemy.
Not their allies.
And definitely not the thing whispering in Ronan’s mind.
