Maria has never shifted. In a world where a wolf is worth more than a daughter, her Alpha father calls her wolfless, useless, and disposable.

Now the girl deemed worthless must decide: survive the beast everyone fears, or risk everything to free him and in doing so, discover that her lack of a wolf might be the very thing that makes her powerful.
The one girl who can save him….
