Alex Steward

From the moment she transformed into a werewolf, Alex was terrified. First, of the man who attacked her-then of herself. If her inner wolf breaks free again, people could die, and she'll be the one hunted. Alex struggles to keep her savage passenger caged, but life doesn't make it easy. The Committee ruling the supernatural community would punish her for the slightest misstep. A group of zealots are targeting supernatural beings of all kinds. Worst of all-some people are just jerks. For help, she relies on her best friend Emma, a wizard and the only person she trusts with her secret. But Emma has her own secret: Mitch. He's twisting her into someone unrecognizable . . . and he may be inflicting the same treatment on other vulnerable supernatural citizens. To save Emma, Alex must make alliances with wizards and werewolves alike, face the Committee, unravel deadly conspiracies, and confront her own worst fear-herself.

Alex decided to stop running from her dark past. She didn't expect it to find her so soon. When Alex discovers the body of a young werewolf, all signs point to silver as the cause of death. Rumors fly of an eerie, ancient sect tracking and killing paranormal beings. Joseph Stone, the newest Committee member, wants to use the grisly death to his advantage. He's determined to label supernatural citizens as monsters and drive them out of Hopewell. To save her home, Alex must rely on her volatile inner wolf to solve the mystery and uncover the murderer. In doing so, she'll face a terrifying and deadly threat whose sole intent is to destroy her.

Alex is more unified with her inner wolf than ever, but now the Committee threatens to tear them apart. As her connection to the creature within her solidifies, Alex's other relationships fracture. Anne now views Alex with suspicion. Emma is quickly losing patience with their new living arrangement. And Ben, having dodged arrest for violating the terms of his tether, hasn't contacted Alex. But there are larger problems for Hopewell's werewolves. Joe Stone, a Committee member and mayoral candidate, continues his crusade to control supernatural citizens. To stop Stone from gaining more power, Alex scrambles to link him to the Hunter who murdered a werewolf. As she hunts for evidence, Alex discovers someone is asking about the horrific day her inner wolf emerged, the day they left a man to die in the woods. Thanks to Stone's new laws, those details require Alex to be put on trial by the Committee and, if found guilty, be tethered. How can Alex stop Stone if what she's fought to accept, the wolf within the woman, is taken from her?

Alex idolized her grandfather. When she discovers he wasn't the man she knew, she fears what her future will hold. Alex's werewolf gene triggered years after her beloved grandfather's death. He left a letter sharing how to survive as a werewolf to guide her. But old articles documenting violent attacks and a mysterious key to an unknown lock turn up in his belongings. Alex is driven to seek answers about her grandfather's secret life. With Ben as her co-pilot, Alex sets out on an impromptu road trip. The pair find themselves retracing her grandfather's steps, navigating the folklore of a feared cryptid, and fleeing a deadly stranger aiming to bring their road trip to a grisly end. Can Alex gain understanding of her grandfather's past, or will she be doomed to repeat it?
