Synopsis

Kylie Galen wants the truth so badly she can taste it. The truth about who her real family is, the truth about which boy she's meant to be with-and the truth about what her emerging powers mean. But she's about to discover that some secrets can change your life forever...and not always for the better. Just when she and Lucas are finally getting close, she learns that his pack has forbidden them from being together. Was it a mistake to pick him over Derek? And it's not just romance troubling Kylie. An amnesia-stricken ghost is haunting her, delivering a frightful message: someone lives and someone dies. As Kylie races to unravel the mystery and protect those she loves, she finally unlocks the secret of her supernatural identity. And the truth is far different and more astonishing-than she ever imagined.
