Prologue

When Asher ran away to Midnight, California, he knew that his life would change forever. What he didn't know is that the change would be drastically different than he envisioned. Bitten within his first hour in the city, Asher is unwillingly thrust into a hidden world by a mysterious stranger. Saved from bleeding out, Asher is taken in by fellow werewolves Blackbird and Duran, who guide him as he learns to cope with the permanent effects of lycanthropy. But can he manage his new life while also learning to heal from the traumas of the past? Can he protect himself and his new-found friends from a force that threatens to topple order in Midnight? And perhaps most importantly: can Asher learn what it truly means to be human?
