Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Ten books of slow-simmering tension between a wolf alpha and a woman made of cold fire, finally unleashed. The payoff is volcanic.

Synopsis

NYT bestselling author Nalini Singh’s exhilarating world of shapeshifters and psychics is “paranormal romance at its best” (Publishers Weekly). Now comes the story of an alpha wolf named Hawke used to getting exactly what he wants—and of the only woman who dares tangle with him. Since the moment of her defection from the PsyNet and into the SnowDancer wolf pack, Sienna Lauren has had one weakness. Hawke. Alpha and dangerous, he compels her to madness. Hawke is used to walking alone, having lost the woman who would’ve been his mate long ago. But Sienna fascinates the primal heart of him, even as he tells himself she is far too young to handle the wild fury of the wolf. Then Sienna changes the rules and suddenly, there is no more distance, only the most intimate of battles between two people who were never meant to meet. Yet as they strip away each other’s secrets in a storm of raw emotion, they must also ready themselves for a far more vicious fight . . . A deadly enemy is out to destroy SnowDancer, striking at everything they hold dear, but it is Sienna’s darkest secret that may yet savage the pack that is her home . . . and the alpha who is its heartbeat . . .

At a Glance

This is the book the entire Psy-Changeling series has been building toward. Hawke and Sienna have circled each other for ten books—an alpha wolf bound by loss, and a woman whose power could incinerate everything she loves. When Singh finally lets them collide, it is scorching, tender, and devastating in equal measure. If you love a slow burn that earns every single flame, start at book one and savor the journey here.
