Moon's Shadow In Shadow Valley, where secrets lurk beneath civilized facades, Detective Phoenix Reed hides a dangerous truth—she is the last surviving alpha of a massacred wolf shifter bloodline, living among humans while secretly hunting those who destroyed her pack fifteen years ago. When the mutilated body of a friend is discovered, ancient runes carved into his flesh and arranged in ritualistic patterns, Phoenix recognizes the signature of her family's killers. The message is clear: they've found her, and the hunt has begun again. As more bodies appear with each waning moon, Phoenix is forced into an uneasy alliance with Forge Silverthorn, the powerful and enigmatic alpha of Shadow Valley's dominant pack. Their explosive attraction is as dangerous as it is undeniable, threatening the walls she's built around her heart and the control she maintains over her wolf nature. With a blood moon approaching and a killer leaving messages only she can read, Phoenix must navigate deadly pack politics, military conspiracies, and her growing feelings for a man who could be either her salvation or her downfall. Every victim is connected to an ancient prophecy about her bloodline—a prophecy that marks her as either destroyer or savior. The hunters who orphaned her have returned to finish what they started. But this time, Phoenix isn't running. This time, she's the predator.
